摘要： According to one embodiment of the invention, the JAVA compiler is modified so that when the JAVA compiler determines, while compiling source code, that an invocation of a first method, which expects to receive a reference to an object, passes, to the first method, a reference to a second method instead of a reference to an object, the JAVA compiler does not issue a compile-time error as the JAVA compiler normally would. Instead, the JAVA compiler generates compiled code (e.g., byte code) that the JAVA compiler would have generated if the source code had (a) defined a “bridge” class that implemented a method that invoked the second method and (b) contained, in the invocation of the first method, a reference to an object that was an instance of the “bridge” class in the place of the reference to the second method.

摘要： A system and method for providing traceable acknowledgement of a digital data distribution license is presented. A license specifying terms applicable to a user requesting a distribution of data maintained in digital form is defined. The digital data distribution is encoded by application of a phrase used to convolute the digital data distribution. The phrase signifies an acknowledgement by the user to be bound by the license terms. The digital data is distributed. Access to the digital data distribution requires application of the phrase to deconvolute the digital data distribution.

摘要： A system or method enables a two tier computer application to operate in a three tier computer environment without specific programming for the three tier environment. Such a system or method receives a database call at a computer system and maps the database call to a general programming language call of a computer application. The general programming language call is executed to invoke functions of the computer application that correspond to functions of the database call. The general programming language call may be an Enterprise Java Bean (EJB) call. An application server receives the database call and maps the database call to the general programming language call. In response to executing the general programming language call, the application server generates a second database call to the database that may either correspond directly or indirectly to the database call received at the application server. The database calls may both be SQL calls. The general computer programming language may have EJB components that are analyzed to determine the correspondence between the database elements and the elements of the components that access the database elements. Methods of the EJB components may be identified for use in determining the correspondence. The methods may be identified by searching for a method of the form XXX, where the prefix is a “get” or “set” method.

摘要： Methods, software, and apparatus for analyzing a software component within an application builder tool are disclosed. The present invention relates, in one aspect, to a method for analyzing a software component that can be visually moved within an application builder tool running on a computer. The method involves obtaining the software component to be analyzed and determining if the software component has an associated information class. When it is determined that the software component has an associated information class, the information class is queried about information stored within the information class, otherwise automatic analysis using design patterns is applied to analyze the class. In one embodiment, the information stored within the information class relates to methods, properties, and/or events.

摘要： Doors are implemented in an existing operating system by using a novel adaptation of existing data structures and procedures which represent and control data files of the operating system. A door is represented by a file descriptor and is managed by existing mechanisms of an operating system, such as the Unix operating system, which are also used to manage files. A door is represented by a door node, which is a novel extension of the conventional vnode structure which in turn is used in conventional operating systems to represent the state of a computer resource, e.g., a data file. A door node is adapted such that most conventional file access and control procedures, e.g., procedures open( ) and close( ), can be used to access and control door with minimal adaptation. A door node is formed by appending fields which are specific to a door node's representation of the state of a door to fields of the door node which are analogous to the fields of a vnode, which represents the state of a resource and which has a conventional structure. Thus, the fields of a door node which precede the fields specific to the representation of the state of a door are of the size, location, and format of analogous fields in a conventional vnode. A client process obtains a file descriptor which identifies a door by supplying the name of the door to the operating system.

摘要： Methods, software, and apparatus for customizing a component for use with an application builder tool are disclosed. A method for customizing a component which has at least one associated property with an associated data type involves obtaining the component, obtaining an editor that is arranged to modify the property, and adding the editor to a customizer that is associated with said component. Then, the property is modified using the editor. In one embodiment, the method further includes configuring the component by implementing the modified property. In another embodiment, the component is an instance of an associated component class, and obtaining the component involves obtaining the component class and creating the instance of the component class. In such an embodiment, each property associated with the component is identified.

摘要： A system is provided for rebooting a computer having a volatile memory device capable of storing operating information. The system reboots the computer using the operating information stored in the memory device if the memory device contains a valid copy of the operating information. The computer reboots the computer by reloading the operating information into the memory device if the memory device does not contain a valid copy of the operating information. The system determines whether the memory device contains a valid copy of the operating information by calculating a checksum for the operating information stored in the memory device and compares the checksum to a previously calculated checksum.

摘要： An apparatus and a method are disclosed whereby a client application can use a trusted "Deputy" application to execute operation calls on several servers on behalf of the client, the Deputy application being able to convince the servers that the deputy application is representing the original client application, and the client thereby reducing the risk of being contaminated by uncontrolled access to an unknown server, while at the same time being able to obtain the desired processing results regardless of the number or location of servers involved in providing the results. The Deputy application is authenticated by the server as representing a user, not a user on a predetermined workstation or as a predetermined member of a particular work group.

摘要： One embodiment of the present invention provides a system for associating metadata attributes with program elements. During operation, the system receives source code containing syntactic elements that specify metadata attributes for program elements, wherein the metadata attributes do not affect program execution. The system then parses the source code to obtain the metadata attributes. Next, the system associates the metadata attributes with corresponding program elements and determines values associated with the metadata attributes. Finally, the system incorporates the metadata attributes, including identifiers for the associated values and the associated program elements, into object code for the program, thereby allowing the metadata attributes to be accessed from the object code. Another embodiment of the present invention provides a system for accessing metadata attributes for program elements from object code through an application programming interface (API).
