Abstract: A method, apparatus, and system for providing a standard, generic contract between an application server and a message provider which allows the message provider to deliver messages to message endpoints (each of which is associated with a corresponding message application) residing in the application server is disclosed. By generic, it is meant that the contract is independent of the specific messaging style, messaging semantics and messaging infrastructure used to deliver messages. In this way, the contract also serves as the standard message provider pluggability contract that allows any message provider to be plugged into any application server via an associated resource adapter.

Abstract: A method and wireless mobile device runs different types of applications and groups a set of common application interfaces (APIs) that are associated with an application type to produce an application container (902). The wireless mobile device and method translates calls between at least one of the linked or grouped common APIs of the application container and a shared API that is shared for example among applications of different types (904). If desired the method and device also groups a set of common application interfaces associated with another application type to produce another application container. The applications of different types use APIs from the multiple application containers. In one embodiment, the translating of calls is accomplished by employing a class loading structure using, for example, a class loader that looks at certain path locations to obtain resources.

Abstract: An invention for migrating managed application state for a Java based application is disclosed. A first Java module is executed on a first server. The first Java module includes a first entity bean and a first state object in communication with the first entity bean. The first state object stores a state of the first entity bean. The first state object is replicated to a state server or stored in-memory and made capable of migration by replicated state manager. Then, a second Java module is started on a second server as part of the module migration by a control module. The second Java module includes a second state object that is populated with state by either recovering from replica of fist state object stored on the state server or by getting transferred state of an in-memory copy of first state object managed on first server.

Abstract: A portion of the lysostaphin gene of Staphylococcus simulans has been cloned and overexpressed in the cytoplasm of E. coli to yield lysostaphin, in the absence of preprolysostaphin and prolysostaphin, under the transcriptional control of an IPTG-inducible promoter and a ribosome binding site. IPTG induction of the transformed host cells produces intracellular, soluble, mature lysostaphin (27 kDa), in the complete absence of preprolysostaphin and prolysostaphin. The mature lysostaphin so formed dose not require post-translational modification. The mature lysostaphin so formed can be used treat and prevent staphylococcal infections.

Abstract: An invention is disclosed managing the replicated and migration capable state for an enterprise Java bean (EJB) application. The invention includes executing a Java application on a server that includes an entity bean. In addition, a replicated state manager is executed that includes program instructions for managing an in-memory state of the Java application, and program instructions for replicating the in-memory state of the Java application to a replicated state server. The replicated state server can be a memory replicated state server, or a disk replicated state server. To facilitate application state management, embodiments of the present invention store states of the entity beans objects using state objects, which are updated in response to changes in the state of the application. Hence, the embodiments of the present invention define a logical separation between the application and the state objects.

Abstract: The present invention defines a transaction management contract between an application server and a resource adapter and its underlying resource manager that allows an application server to utilize local transactions on a resource manager and avoid the overhead of an external transaction manager. The transaction management contract incorporates two aspects that apply to different types of transactions. The first aspect provides an application level transaction contract between a transaction manager and a resource manager based on javax.transaction.xa.XAResource of the J2EE specification. The second aspect is local transaction management contract. These contracts enable application server to provide the infrastructure and runtime environment for transaction management. An application component relies on this transaction infrastructure to support its component level transaction model.

Abstract: A system by which resource adapters may be utilized in client server computer configurations utilizing enterprise information systems is disclosed. A connector provider develops a set of Java interfaces and classes as part of its implementation of a resource adapter. These Java classes implement connector architecture specified contracts and implement EIS specific functionality provided by the resource adapter. The development of a resource adapter can also require use of native libraries that are specific to the underlying EIS. The Java interfaces and classes and native libraries, help files, documentation and other resources (as necessary) are then packaged together with a deployment descriptor to create a resource adapter module. The resource adapter module defines the contract between a connector provider and deployer for the deployment of a resource adapter in the client server environment.
