  • Publication number: 20180338015
    Abstract: Provided is a system and method for managing a progressive hybrid web application by storing web content in a local cache. In an example, the method includes receiving a HTTP request from a web application executing on the user device, determining whether requested web content included in the HTTP request is stored in a local cache storage of the user device, and in response to determining the web content associated with the HTTP request is stored in the local cache storage, fetching the web content from the local cache storage and transferring the fetched web content to the web application. According to various aspects, the web content can be provided to the web application executing on the user device via the local cache even in a situation where the user device is not connected to the remote host server of the web application.

  • Patent number: 10049112
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates a computer-implemented method comprising obtaining, at a database application, a selection of one or more database metadata items from a user device, wherein each metadata item includes human-intelligible content and each metadata item identifying an associated database object contained in a database, identifying, based at least partially on the database objects associated with the selected one or more metadata items, one or more predefined database views of the database application, registering the identified one or more predefined database views, monitoring if the one or more predefined database views are updated after the registering operation and triggering pushing of an update notification to the user device in response to a monitored update of the one or more predefined database views.

  • Publication number: 20180063258
    Abstract: Some embodiments provide a non-transitory machine-readable medium stores a program. The program receives, from an application a session identifier associated with a service instance in a plurality of service instances and a service identifier associated with the second service instance. The program further sends a response that includes a collaboration session identifier associated with the collaboration session to the application. The program also receives, from a web browser application the collaboration session identifier. The program further sends the session identifier and the service instance identifier to the web browser application. The program also receives, from the web browser application a request for a bidirectional communication channel for the collaboration session. The request includes the session identifier and the service instance identifier. The program further creates the bidirectional communication channel between the web browser application and the second service instance.

  • Publication number: 20170331900
    Abstract: Embodiments provide clustering of websocket communications with configurable master-slave servers. A centralized document service accessible to each server functions as a repository for cluster server information, cluster master server IP address, and security information. Upon receiving a first input, a server references the document service to create a first websocket handler as the master (e.g., utilizing a flag). Upon receiving a second input, a different server references the document service to create a slave websocket handler. Using master server IP address information from the document service, the slave websocket handler establishes a websocket cluster channel with the master websocket handler. Additional websocket channels with the master websocket hander may be established as further inputs are received and slave websocket handlers created.
