摘要： The present invention provides a method and system for multi-threaded processing that is an improvement over conventional systems. The system of the present invention comprises multiple threads of execution, multiple apartments, shared data, and a concurrency management component. The threads of execution run independently and each occupy one apartment. The apartments contain objects that have methods to perform operations. The shared data contains data that is accessible by all threads within the process. The concurrency management mechanism performs processing so that the multiple threads can execute concurrently in a reliable and robust manner. In an alternative system of the present invention, the threads are separate from the apartments and the threads execute within the apartments to perform processing. After performing the processing, the thread exits the apartment so that the apartment may be occupied by another thread.

摘要： A method and system for retrieving and maintaining presentation data in a presentation cache is provided. In a preferred embodiment, a presentation cache object provides a presentation cache with multiple cache entries. Each entry contains an indication of the format of the presentation data and the presentation data stored in that particular format. In addition, other information, such as the advisees of advisory connections for notification of cache updates, can be maintained. The presentation cache object responds to requests for retrieving source object data by returning presentation data cached within the presentation cache when it is available. In addition, the presentation cache object determines when it should delegate requests to the source object and when it can satisfy them on its own. The presentation cache object can return presentation data to a requesting client program even if the server program implementing the source object is unavailable or not running. The presentation cache object can also choose to persistently store its cache entries so that the presentation cache is maintained when the source object is closed. In addition, client programs can provide control over the frequency and subject of presentation data updates within the presentation cache.

摘要： A computer method and system for passing a pointer to an interface from a server process to a client process. In a preferred embodiment, the server process instantiates an object that has multiple interfaces. The server process identifies an interface to pass to the client process and creates a stub object for receiving a request to invoke a function member of the interface and for invoking the requested function member upon receiving the request. The server process then sends an identifier of the stub to the client process. When the client process receives the identifier of the stub, it instantiates a proxy object for receiving requests to invoke a function member of the interface and for sending the request to the identified stub. The client process can then invoke the function members of the interface by invoking function members of the proxy object. The proxy object sends a request to the identified stub. The identified stub then invokes the corresponding function member of the interface.

摘要： A transactional file system wherein multiple file system operations may be performed as a transaction. An application specifies that file system-related operations are to be handled as a transaction, and the application is given a file handle associated with a transaction context. For file system requests associated with a transaction context, a file system component manages the operations consistent with transactional behavior. The component handles namespace logging operations in a multiple-level log that facilitates logging and recovery. Page data is logged separate from the main log, with a unique signature that enables the log to determine whether a page was fully flushed to disk prior to a system crash.

摘要： A logically centralized physically distributed Internet protocol (IP) network-connected devices configuration is disclosed. The technology initially receives configuration information regarding an IP network-connected devices configuration. The configuration information is then disseminated to a plurality of devices coupled with the IP network-connected devices configuration. At least a portion of the IP network-connected devices configuration with a related timestamp is then stored on any of the plurality of devices having a datastore thereon. In so doing, the IP network-connected devices configuration is physically distributed and at least partially replicated such that when a comparison of a status information with respect to at least one of the network-connected devices, the status information having a most recent timestamp associated therewith is relied upon.
