Abstract: This disclosure describes, generally, methods and systems for implementing staged configurator modeling. The method may include initiating a staged product configurator model environment and presenting a user interface (UI) configured to allow for definition of stages. The method may further include receiving input via the UI indicating the definition of stages and storing the stages in a data store. Furthermore, the method may include defining product components and associating product components with one or more of the stages. The method may further include executing one or more applications associated with the product components. The method may further include executing one or more applications associated with the product components. Each application may be configured to use the one or more stages when executing a configurator, and each new stage supplied to the configurator may be equal to or linearly incremented from a previously supplied stage.

Abstract: Systems and methods are presented for managing browser sessions in single and multi-server workflow environments. Aspects involve maintaining session state for browser sessions at a first application server process, while communicating with a second application server process. Other aspects involve monitoring user activity and server state from a browser that can initiate responsive actions in response to error conditions.
