  • Publication number: 20150356069
    Abstract: At least one XML document to be validated is parsed, and XML data in the at least one XML document is represented as data objects in at least one data object model in a memory. At least one rule document is parsed and a rule object model that includes rule objects is created in the memory. At least part of the data objects are extracted from the at least one data object model and at least part of rule objects are extracted from the rule object model. Partial validation is performed in a corresponding execution context that validates the extracted at least part of the data objects based upon the extracted at least part of the rule objects.

  • Patent number: 9172138
    Abstract: A system includes a first feedpoint and a second feedpoint symmetrically disposed on the left and right sides of an antenna on a small board. A first switch, a second switch, and a third switch are disposed on a mainboard. The first switch, the second switch, and the third switch are controlled through a control instruction so that the system is in a first connection state and a second connection state. Signal strength corresponding to the first connection state and signal strength corresponding to the second connection state are detected, and if the signal strength corresponding to the first connection state is greater than the signal strength corresponding to the second connection state, each switch is controlled through an instruction so that the system is in the first connection state, in which the first feedpoint is working. Otherwise, the second feedpoint is working.

  • Patent number: 9003433
    Abstract: Business application logic corresponding to a business is generated according to requirements of the business. The business application logic includes Web services and Widgets. The Widgets in the business application logic are mashed up to create a Widget mashup application. An adaptation relationship is established between the Web services and the Widgets in the Widget mashup application. An executable business process is generated for the business based on the business application logic and the adaptation relationship. An executable mashup Widget application is generated based on the Widget mashup application and the adaptation relationship.

  • Publication number: 20140324795
    Abstract: Methods and systems for data management are disclosed. With embodiments of the present disclosure, data files originating from the same source data can be de-duplicated. One such method comprises calculating one or more of a first characteristic value for first data in a first format, and one or more second characteristic values for one or more data in one or more second formats into which the first data can be converted, said characteristic value uniquely representing an arrangement characteristic of at least part of bits of data in a particular format. The method also includes storing one of the first data and the second data in response to one of the calculated characteristic values being the same as a stored characteristic value corresponding to a second data.

  • Publication number: 20140280856
    Abstract: Instance documents related to policy enforcement are gathered according to a business requirement. The instance documents are instantiated from corresponding schema documents. An instantiated context model, including references to the gathered instance documents, is generated from a context model definition. A policy set to be enforced using the instantiated context model is generated according to the gathered instance documents. An enforcement sequence of policies in the policy set is determined. The policies are applied to the instantiated context model according to the enforcement sequence.

  • Patent number: 8788566
    Abstract: A method for enforcing context model based Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) policies is provided, which includes: gathering instance documents related to policy enforcement according to a business requirement; generating an instantiated context model using the gathered instance documents; generating a policy set to be enforced according to the gathered instance documents; determining an enforcement sequence of policies in the policy set; and applying the policies to the instantiated context model according to the enforcement sequence. The method for enforcing context model based SOA policies may flexibly gather the instance documents according to scenarios and purposes of the policy enforcement to define the policy scope, such as project, application, service, etc., and may be applied to various types of the SOA policies. In addition, a policy engine for enforcing context model based SOA policies is provided.
