  • Storage procedures for application server session persistence
    Patent number: 8909796
    Abstract: Session persistence storage schemes are provided. These schemes may include identifying a change in a session attribute for an application client session, querying a session persistence table associated with the application running in the application-server environment, and updating an attribute in the record identified by the query of the session persistence table, where the query is made to a session persistence table with session attributes grouped by common traits.

  • Client identification and authorization in an asynchronous request dispatching environment
    Patent number: 8140842
    Abstract: The present invention provides client and server identity validation in an asynchronous request dispatching environment with client-side aggregation. An application server receives an asynchronous include request from a client. A first unique identifier associating the client with the asynchronous include is generated and sent to a results server. A second unique identifier identifying the results server is generated and sent to the application server. Results of the asynchronous include are stored in the results server. The application server sends the first and second unique identifiers to the client, which polls the results server and sends the second unique identifier to the results server. The results server uses the second unique identifier to verify the identity of the client. The results server sends the first unique identifier to the client. The client uses the first unique identifier to validate the identity of the results server.
