Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product to transparently dispatch requests to a remote resource using a remote request dispatcher (RRD) in a managed multiple application server environment. The method includes executing a local resource on a local Web module on a local application server. The local resource contains a reference to a remote resource on a remote Web module on a remote application server. The method also includes building an RRD request object on the local application server, and sending the RRD request object to the remote application server. Upon receipt, the method further includes generating a request on the remote application server to an internal controller servlet to perform an include operation on the remote resource, intercepting the request to the internal controller servlet on the remote application server, wrapping the request to the servlet with information received in the RRD request object, and building an RRD response object on the remote application.

Abstract: A Fragment Aggregator utilizes an application independent surrogate to dispatch fragments and receive responses between isolated web applications. Clients send web application requests to the surrogate, which forwards the request to an isolated web application. When a web application requires other isolated web applications to execute the request, the web application responds to the request with a deferred response. The deferred response includes request fragments for the other isolated web applications. The Fragment Aggregator dispatches the fragments to the other isolated web applications. After receiving responses from the isolated web applications, the Fragment Aggregator combines the response and sends them to the client.
