Abstract: Techniques are provided for managing multiple Web services on a single device. The device includes device metadata and a service manager. Each Web service registers with the service manager. Registration includes providing service metadata to the service manager. The service manager may generate (e.g., at least some) service relationship data based on the service metadata. The service relationship data indicates (either explicitly or implicitly) a relationship (e.g., a dependency) between a first Web service of the multiple Web services and a second Web service. In response to one or more criteria being satisfied with respect to the first Web service, the service manager uses the service relationship data and/or the device metadata to determine that one or more actions should be initiated with respective to the second Web service.

Abstract: Approaches for the optimized printing of electronic documents are provided. The approaches are applicable to a wide variety of contexts and implementations and include generating an estimated processing time for an electronic document and reporting the estimated processing time back to a client device. Generating an estimated time to process includes processing at least a portion of the print data. Further, the approaches include re-ordering a processing queue based on the estimated processing time for the electronic document, and additionally based on an in-queue time for each print data in the processing queue. Further, any user-designated priority may be factored into the re-ordering of print data in the processing queue, or in the alternative, bypass the optimization process entirely. These approaches may be implemented on a printing device, a print server, a client device or any other device capable of utilizing these approaches.

Abstract: Techniques for extending a Web services system are provided. One or more Web service applications (WSA) execute on a device. Each WSA provides at least one service. A WSA implements a particular version of a Web Services (WS) specification that is previous to a current version of the WS specification. In one technique, an orchestration module is added that coordinates the interaction between the WSA and one or more extension modules. While processing the request, the WSA calls the orchestration module. The orchestration module, based on one or more attributes of a request, determines whether an extension module, that comprises logic, should be called to process a portion of the request. The logic corresponds to a difference between the previous version and the current version. After an extension module finishes processing the portion of the request, the WSA is caused to further process the request.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for efficiently processing SOAP requests at a Web service application (WSA) of a multi-functional device (MFP). In one technique, a WSA includes at least three threads. An external request processing thread processes SOAP requests from different client applications. A request processing thread processes a SOAP request according to the business logic of the WSA. A internal communications thread communicates with other components of the MFP that are distinct from the WSA. In another technique, a WSA processes different SOAP request differently, depending on the size of the SOAP and the resources required to process the SOAP request so that fast requests may be processed immediately while slow requests are pending. In another technique, a WS-Eventing specification is implemented within a WSA to simplify the event subscription and notification process.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for implementing the WS-DeviceProfile standard as a multi-threaded process (“DFM”) executing on a multi-function peripheral (“MFP”). The DFM takes care of the discovery of devices and services on a network. The DFM also acts as a facility manager. The DFM implements various web services in a single component that applications can re-use. The DFM insulates these applications from some of the more complex details of the web services that the DFM implements. The MFP may comprise several different applications, each with a different specialized function. Each of these applications uses the web services provided by the DFM. The multi-threaded nature of the DFM permits new services to be added to the MFP dynamically. The threads can handle separate tasks concurrently. For example, one thread can handle communications with processes outside the MFP, while another thread can simultaneously handle communications with processes and applications inside the MFP.

Abstract translation: 提供了在多功能外设（“MFP”）上执行的多线程进程（“DFM”）实现WS-DeviceProfile标准的技术。 DFM负责在网络上发现设备和服务。 DFM也担任设施经理。 DFM在单个组件中实现各种Web服务，应用程序可以重用。 DFM将这些应用程序与DFM实现的Web服务的一些更复杂的细节进行了绝缘。 MFP可以包括几个不同的应用，每个具有不同的专门功能。 这些应用程序都使用DFM提供的Web服务。 DFM的多线程性质允许将新的服务动态添加到MFP。 线程可以同时处理单独的任务。 例如，一个线程可以处理与MFP外部的进程的通信，而另一个线程可以同时处理与MFP内的进程和应用程序的通信。
