  • Publication number: 20210374106
    Abstract: Disclosed are various approaches for using drag-and-drop to open local files remotely. In one approach, a client device renders a user interface including a first indicium corresponding to a local file of the client device and a second indicium corresponding to a remotely executed application. A drag-and-drop action of the first indicium relative to the second indicium is detected. Responsive to the drag-and-drop action, the remotely executed application opens a copy of the local file.

  • Publication number: 20210334118
    Abstract: Disclosed are various approaches for opening local files in remotely executed applications. In one approach, a user request is received to open a local file of a client device remotely. A remotely executed application is identified to open the local file. The client device automatically transfers the local file to a remote data store accessible to the remotely executed application. The remotely executed application opens a copy of the local file from the remote data store.

  • Publication number: 20210211844
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for detecting a signal propagation type. The method comprises: calculating a similarity value of a currently received pulse response and a reference pulse response when a certain positioning base station of a UWB positioning system currently receives a pulse response from a certain positioning tag, the similarity value indicating the degree of similarity between the currently received pulse response and the reference pulse response, wherein the reference pulse response is a pulse response previously received by the positioning base station from the positioning tag; and determining the current type of signal propagation between the positioning base station and the positioning tag on the basis of the similarity value. The method and apparatus can detect the type of signal propagation between the positioning base station and positioning tag of the UWB positioning system.

  • Patent number: 10986215
    Abstract: An approach for accessing one or more resources at a virtualized desktop infrastructure (VDI) client running on a client device by a remote virtual machine (VM) is provided. The method includes intercepting, via a VDI agent, a request to access one or more resources at the client device, transferring the request from the remote VM to the client device via a network redirector protocol, and filtering the request to determine if the request complies with one or more rules. For a first resource of the one or more resources, if the request does not comply with any one of one or more first rules of the one or more rules, access to the first resource is denied. If the request complies with the one or more first rules, access to the first resource is granted and a response is sent to the VDI agent via the network redirector protocol.

  • Publication number: 20210081193
    Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment, described herein is a system and method for supporting patching in a multi-tenant application server environment. The system can associate one or more partitions with a tenant, for use by that tenant, wherein a partition is a runtime and administrative subdivision or slice of a domain. A patching process can take advantage of high-availability features provided by an application server clustering environment, to apply patches in a controlled, rolling restart, which maintains a domain's ability to operate without interruption, or with zero downtime. The process can be used to automate complex or long running tasks, including preserving an unpatched or prior version of an application server, application, or other software component for possible rollback, or providing automatic reversion in the event of an unrecoverable error.

  • Publication number: 20200192539
    Abstract: The disclosure provides an approach for transferring an object between a virtualized desktop infrastructure (VDI) client running on a client device and a remote virtual machine (VM) connected to the VDI client through a network. The method includes receiving, at the client device, an input corresponding to a drag and drop operation of an object between the client device and a remote desktop displayed at the client device, the remote desktop running on the remote VM. The method includes transferring one or more commands corresponding to the drag and drop operation from the client device to the remote VM or from the remote VM to the client device via a first channel. The method also includes transferring the object from the client device to the remote VM or from the remote VM to the client device via a second channel.

  • Patent number: 10178184
    Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment, systems and methods for session handling in a multitenant application server environment are provided. The ability to replicate a session is important but equally so is the ability to ensure the session is successfully deserialized on some server in order to serve the request. After a server has been shut down, the front end can fail over the request to one of the remaining server members in a cluster. Once the server receives the request it can attempt to grab the session from a server that holds a copy of that session. When a patched or unpatched server attempts to load the session that originated from a server of the opposite state, it can fail to deserialize the session, and inform the traffic director of severs in the cluster that are capable of deserializing the session.

  • Patent number: 10084843
    Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment, described herein is a system and method for providing web container partitions in an application server environment. The application server environment can include a domain with one or more partitions, each partition associated with one or more virtual targets, and each virtual target including configuration information for a web server that hosts one or more applications deployed to that virtual target. Each virtual target can register configuration information of its associated web server with a web container. When receiving a request for accessing an application in a particular partition, the web container can examine information in the host header of the request and virtual target configuration information in the web container, to find a matching web server for dispatching the request.
