  • Electronic content store
    Publication number: 20010032209
    Abstract: In a method for storing and accessing objects in an electronic content store (e.g. for a Website), each object is assigned a version number, such that multiple instances of the same object with different version numbers may coexist. When accessing an object in the content store for reading or writing, a requested version number is specified. When reading an object, if an instance of that object with the requested version number exists in the content store, that instance of the object is returned, and otherwise the most recent older instance of that object is returned. When writing to an object, if an instance of that object with the requested version number exists in the content store, the write is performed to that instance of the object, and otherwise a copy is made of the most recent older instance of the object, the copy is assigned the requested version number, and the write is performed to the copy. This provides an efficient and convenient mechanism for managing versions of the content.

  • OBJECT INSTANCE VERSIONING
    Publication number: 20120072449
    Abstract: A first version of object data for an object instance can be stored in an object persistence store, which can be a distributed store. After the first version of the object data is stored, a second version of the object data can be stored in the store, without deleting the first version of the object data. Object data versioning information that identifies the first version of the object data and the second version of the object data can be stored separately from method versioning information for the object instance. After the second version of the object data is stored, a request to retrieve the first version of the object instance can be received, and in response, the first version of the object data can be retrieved from the store. Multiple versions of the object instance data can also be searched.
