Abstract: A programming language framework may be enhanced to provide for dynamic validation. Dynamic validation allows the validator function for any variable to be selected at runtime rather than statically declared at programming-time. Instead of annotating a variable with an annotation that refers to a specific validator function or constraint type, programmers can annotate a variable with an annotation that indicates that the validator function will be selected dynamically at runtime. When a runtime instance of the variable is created, the programming language framework may identify the dynamic validation annotation on the variable, and then use the runtime values in the variable to determine which validator function(s) should be used.

Abstract: In an example embodiment, an additional interface customer resource definition (CRD), which operates in conjunction with the normal CRD, is utilized. The interface CRD may be called a service CRD. The service CRD provides an abstraction of the original CRD by abstracting away all technical details that no other services should depend upon. The service CRD provides a façade to the original CRD. Both are kept in sync by a component called an operator, which infers the specification of the original CRD on the basis of the specification of a given service CRD. Furthermore, status updates sent to the original CRD that are relevant to the dependent services are mirrored back to the corresponding service CRD. Correspondingly, status updates with technical details that are too specific for the dependent services are not mirrored back.

Abstract: A method for referencing and updating objects in a shared resource environment. A reference counter counts is incremented for every use of an object subtype in a session and decremented for every release of an object subtype in a session. A session counter is incremented upon the first instance of fetching an object type into a session cache and decremented upon having no instances of the object type in use in the session.

When the object type needs to be updated, it is cloned into a local cache, and changes are made on the local copy. The global cache is then locked to all other users, the original object type is detached, and the cloned object type is swapped into the global cache, after which the global cache in unlocked.

Subscribers may specify interest in as broad, or as narrow a range of events as they wish, and thereby a more efficient match between subscriber interest and which events are distributed to that user may be enabled.
