Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to processing database transactions that include application operations defined by different object relational mapping (ORM) libraries. A transaction router module executing on a computer system receives, from an application, a request for a first database transaction, where the first database transaction includes first and second application operations. The transaction router module then translates the first application operation to one or more first database operations using a first ORM library and the second application operation to one or more second database operations using a second ORM library. Then, the transaction router module determines one or more database connections for the one or more first database operations and the one or more second database operations. Such techniques may advantageously allow applications to switch between using different persistence frameworks and message broker frameworks without substantial adjustments to application code.

The system can also un-attach the oversized file, compress it using a suitable compression method, and reattach a compressed file. The compression can be done at the sender's request or automatically.

Abstract: In an information processing system 1, a display controlling unit 2 displays, on a terminal device, a first form containing fields. An accepting unit 3 accepts, from a user, an entry in the fields contained in the first form.

Abstract: Techniques are described herein to handle situations in which multiple systems can change different copies of the same data item. Optimistic locking and time stamps are used to ensure consistency between the systems without incurring the performance penalties associated with two-phase commit. Specifically, when propagating a change to a data item from a first system to a second system, the second system compares the first system's “pre-update” value of the data item with its current value of the data item. If the pre-update value from the first system does not match the current value in the second system, then a conflict has occurred. Upon detecting a conflict, both systems use timestamps associated with the respective conflicting changes to determine which conflicting change “wins”. The winning change is applied by all systems whose changes did not win.
