Abstract: A resource consumption control method and system. The method includes deploying by a computing system, a portlet/servlet. The computing system receives monitor data associated with a first resource consumed by the first portlet/servlet during the deploying. The monitor data comprises a maximum resource consumption rate value for the portlet/servlet and a mean resource consumption rate value for the portlet/servlet. The computing system generates a resource consumption rate limit value for the first portlet/servlet based on the monitor data. The computing system generates action data comprising an action to be executed if the resource consumption rate limit value is exceeded by a consumption rate value for the portlet/servlet. The computing system transmits the resource consumption rate limit value and the action data to the portlet/servlet. The resource consumption rate limit value and the action data are stored with the portlet/servlet.

Abstract: A portal view generation system can receive a request from a user for a portal view of a portal site. The system determines which resources the user can access based on the user's permission level on the resources. The system further determines the user's authentication level. Each of the portal resources the user has permission to access are then vetted based on a minimum authentication level needed to view the resource, and the user's authentication level. Those resources which the user has permission to access, but in insufficient level of authentication are excluded from view. The portal view generation system then generates the code to render navigational elements for the user to access those remaining resources the user has both permission and sufficient authentication level to access.

Abstract: Method, system, and computer program product for instantiating a template in a composite application infrastructure. A template that describes a composite application having a plurality of application components is created. The template includes a composite application component assembly descriptor which lists each application component of the composite application. The template is stored in a template library. The composite application is instantiated using the template for creating at least one composite application instance. In an application instance registry, composite application instance(s) and instance information related to the composite application instance(s) is/are registered. The composite application instances are transiently represented in the application instance registry by a respective table entry without creating a real object. The real object that is dynamically created represents a particular composite application instance during a composite application usage session.

Abstract: A predetermined business task of a composite application can be fulfilled. The composite application can include a set of components. The composite application is instantiated by a template means and a predefined collaborative context module controls the interaction of the set of components during the runtime of the composite application. A set of components fulfilling individual services on individual different server systems is leveraged by the composite application. During the instantiation of the composite application from a template, the referenced components (as types) are instantiated leading to runtime instances of these components. The interaction of the different components is controlled on individual different server systems utilizing a primary context module.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a new synchronization architecture for synchronization of data between different clients by using a central synchronization server linked to a Back End data store which additionally provides a cache for permanently buffering incoming updates into a permanent store by assigning an unique cache identifier (ID). Write conflicts between the synchronization server writing new entries to the cache and updates replicated from backend to cache are solved using a blocking mechanism based on the cache IDs, so that the backend updates are blocked as long as incoming updates from the clients having the same cache ID are not completely written into the cache during a synchronization session. The present invention is preferably suited for a synchronization architecture having a high number of clients connected with the central synchronization server as blocking of the Back End data store, and the connection and the transport to the Back End data store are minimized.
