Abstract: Sharing of objects may be implemented in a way that allows programs to use shared objects in much the same way that they would use local objects. In one example, a program creates an object and sets properties through normal instructions that would be used to create a local object. The program then registers the object with a shared object model, which may be maintained by a shared object server. For each machine on which the object may be used, a shared object runtime monitors for changes to the objects, and notifies the server of these changes. The server updates the object, and notifies other machines of changes to the state of the object. The shared object runtimes on those machines receive notification of the changes, and update the local copies.

Abstract: A method for providing stand-in objects, where relationships among objects are automatically resolved in an object oriented relational database model without the necessity of retrieving data from the database until it is needed. A “fault” class is defined, as well as fault objects whose data haven't yet been fetched from the database. An object that's created for the destination of a relationship whenever an object that includes the relationship is fetched from the database. When an object is fetched that has relationships, fault objects are created to “stand-in” for the destination objects of those relationships. Fault objects transform themselves into the actual enterprise objects—and fetch their data—the first time they're accessed. Subsequently, messages sent to the target objects are responded to by the objects themselves.

A message that includes all common data attributes associated with a first reference object is received. The data attributes in the message are mapped to common data attributes in a second reference object. The type of the message is determined, where the message is either a synchronization message or a key change message. The common data attributes in the second reference object are updated to match the common data attributes in the first reference object if the message is a synchronization message. A unique data attribute in the second reference object is updated if the message is a key change message.

Abstract: A server side scripting language hosts batch requests from a client for invoking object specific libraries on the client requestor. The requestor executes a user application driven by a web scripting language which may not have facilities or resources for efficiently invoking operations that are provided by the server. A batch script enables the requestor to invoke a set of server operations in batch, without exchanging requests and result for each invocation of a service side operation, thus mitigating the bandwidth that would otherwise occur for individual client/server exchanges for each operation. The server provides a proxy class for expected object types and operations, and a dispatch layer identifies the appropriate proxy class for each operation requested from the batch script.

Abstract: A Common Component Framework (CCF) provides a container interface and a component interface for communication in a multi-tiered software application. Component context data may be transmitted to and from a container describing a current state of a component executing within the container. Context data may correspond to a specific entity (e.g., a financial entity such as a company or stock) identified by a user interacting with the component. The container may communicate the context data between different components to synchronize and coordinate component behavior, providing a more robust and coherent user experience. In addition to component context data, other information may be transmitted between containers and components such as properties, menu options, and data fields, supporting more complete integration of even web-based components into containers.

Abstract: Two threads may communicate via shared memory using two different modes. In a polling mode, a receiving thread may poll an indicator set by the sending thread to determine if a message is present. In a blocking mode, the receiving thread may wait until a synchronization object is set by the sending thread which may cause the receiving thread to return to the polling mode. The polling mode may have low latency buy may use processor activity of the receiving thread to repetitively check the indictor. The blocking mode may have a higher latency but may allow the receiving thread to enter a sleep mode or perform other activities.

Abstract: In a computing environment, one may wish to have interoperability between trusted and untrusted controls/plug-ins allowing for richer expression of content and control within a platform. This can be accomplished by allowing an untrusted plug-in to communicate with a trusted plug-in, while having the trusted plug-in exercise control over the platform. This allows for the creation of a layered secure approach of communication with a platform, thus allowing for increased application richness in untrusted third party applications.

Abstract: A method and system of managing content at a network site can allow easier use by business users. A higher level of abstraction can be used to allow business users to create their own objects that may reference or contain other objects or records as managed by a content management system. Business users do not have to learn programming code in order to work those objects, which are content types. A graphical user interface (“GUI”) can be used to help the business users to create, modify, and delete content types. The GUI and the ability for business users to the create content types greatly shortens the time between receiving software to operate a network site and launching content at that network site.

Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for eliminating redundancy in instance data of different versioned classes in communication between object request brokers (ORBs). An ORB derives common class definitions for the class for both the client and server ORBs from an intersection of the fields present in the different versions of the class maintained at the client and server. The common class definition for the class for the server ORB/client ORB will be relative to the version of the class existing at the client/server. When a common class definition of a class exists, a server/client ORB serializes an instance of the class using its common class definition for the class thereby including only the fields useful for the client/server ORB. By deriving common class definitions for the class, redundant fields are no longer being transmitted between the client and server ORBs thereby reducing the size of data being transmitted.

Abstract: Technologies for virtualized management objects are presented herein. Through the utilization of the technologies and concepts presented herein, a management entity may be able to access a management object through a computer firmware that utilizes a virtualized layer that interfaces a management interface server and a CIM provider associated with the management object. According to one aspect, a method for virtualizing management objects includes receiving a request for data associated with a management object from a management entity. The request for data may be in a first standard. The request is then converted into a command in a second standard. The command is then executed and a response to the command is generated. Next, the response to the command is converted to a response to the request in the first standard. The converted response to the request is then sent to the management entity.
