摘要： A configuration management system creates (602) each configuration by assigning a configuration identifier to each configuration. In addition, relational information is computed (706) that indicates the relationships between the configuration and any configurations upon which it is based. The system then tracks (604) changes to files of the configuration by storing information associating each new file version with the configuration identifier. The system also tracks (1210) changes to file properties. A configuration is then reconstructed (608) as of a desired date, by identifying (2104, 2106) the file versions and properties associated with that configuration as of the desired date. A determination is made (2110) whether a user that has requested the file versions has access privileges by first checking a security cache (2600) for the user privileges information. If the information is not on the cache, it is computed from a security table (2800) and stored on the cache. The system automatically compresses (3118) and reconstitutes (3006) file versions that are stored in the version store.

摘要： Methods, systems, and data structures for communicating object metadata are provided. A generic metadata container is presented that allows object metadata to be described in an extensible manner using protocol-neutral and platform-independent methodologies. A metadata scope refers to a dynamic universe of targets to which the included metadata statements correspond. Metadata properties provide a mechanism to describe the metadata itself, and metadata security can be used to ensure authentic metadata is sent and received. Mechanisms are also provided to allow refinement and replacement of metadata statements. Communication of metadata is expedited using hash digests to confirm metadata versions, and by piggybacking policy metadata requests and responses on other substantive data communication messages, thereby dynamically altering future communications.

摘要： A system and method for performing client-server transactions includes an application interface, located at a client, which manages connections between the client and a server. The application interface receives a request from an application program, opens a connection with the server, sends a message that includes the request over the connection, and holds the connection open for at least a timeout period. If the application interface receives another request destined for the server during the timeout period, it sends another message with the new request over the open connection. If the application interface receives one or more requests that are part of a transaction, the application interface assigns a transaction identifier to the transaction. The transaction identifier and a sequence indicator are included in each message with each request. At the server, a transaction manager receives the messages, sequences the requests based on the sequence indicators, and processes the requests in the indicated sequence. If the application interface receives a redirect request from the server in response to a message, the application interface sends the message to another server identified in the redirect request without involving the client application.

摘要： Communicating and requesting specialized policy information. A message is sent by a client to a service which provides the services requested by the message or a specialized processor that evaluates messages. The message is evaluated for compliance with a policy particular to the message. If the message does not comply with a policy particular to the message, policy information is sent, where the policy information indicates the correct policy particular to the message. In one embodiment, if the message complies with a policy particular to the message, policy information is sent, where the policy information indicates that the message complies with a policy particular to the message.

摘要： Providing reference tokens. A method includes receiving a request for a token. In response to the request for a token and in place of a token, one or more rich pointers are sent referencing one or more tokens. The rich pointers point to locations where one or more actual tokens can be retrieved. When only a single pointer is sent, the pointer is a reference other than an HTTP URL.

摘要： Multiple peer groups for performing computing, communication, and/or storage tasks. A method may be performed for example, in a computing environment including one or more agents networked together. The method includes providing data to the agents using two or more distinct peer groups. The peer groups include members from among the agents. The method further includes performing at each of the peer groups operations on the data. Each peer group is configured to perform a specific operation. The method also includes coordinating the operations at each of the peer groups such that a common computing, communication and/or storage task is accomplished by aggregating the operations at each of the peer groups.

摘要： The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for selecting policy for compatible communication. Hierarchical policy document data structures represent communication (e.g., security) aspects and options such that lower aspects and options are accessed in the context of corresponding higher aspects and options to define applicable scope. Use of a hierarchical description also facilitates separation of what is being protected from how it is being protected thereby allowing security policy to be considered at different locations of a description document.

摘要： A generic application server is capable of simultaneously receiving requests, processing requested work, and returning results using multiple, conceptual thread pools. In addition, functions are programmable as state machines. While executing such a function, when a worker thread encounters a potentially blocking condition, the thread issues an asynchronous request for data, a state transition is performed, and the thread is released to do other work. After the blocking condition is relieved, another worker thread is scheduled to advance to the next function state and continue the function. Multiple priority work queues are used to facilitate completion of functions already in progress. In addition, lower-priority complex logic threads can be invoked to process computationally intense logic that may be necessitated by a request. Throttling functions are also implemented, which control the quantity of work accepted into the server and server response time.

摘要： A group identifier represents an association between each of a number of different abbreviated namespace identifiers with a corresponding hierarchical namespace (e.g., an XML namespace). A hierarchically-structured document (e.g., an XML document) is accessed by a computing system that determines that the group identifier is associated with the hierarchically-structured document. Hence, when using the abbreviated namespace identifiers in the hierarchically-structured document, the computing system knows that the corresponding namespace is associated with the designated portions of the hierarchically-structured document. Also, a schema description language document (e.g., an XSD document) may specify multiple target namespaces for a single element. Accordingly, groupings of elements may be included in different namespaces to creating overlapping or even nested namespaces.

摘要： Systems, clients, servers, methods, and computer-readable media of varying scope are described that maintain versions of data related to projects. Included in the system is a visual interface, a source repository and a project database. The source repository maintains versions of source code associated with a software development project. The project database maintains project data associated with the project. The project database maintains versions of the project data. The visual interface provides a mechanism for reading and updating the project data. As project data is updated a method is invoked in which a current version of the data is located. The current version is determined by examining which data structure has an end-time value that is blank or null. The current version's end-time is set to the current time (i.e. the time of the update), thereby turning the current version into a previous version of the project data. A new data structure is created that contains the updated value. The end-time value for the new data structure is set to blank or null, indicating that it is the current version.
