摘要： A method, system, and computer program product for efficient processing of Extensible Markup Language (XML) documents in Content Based Routing (“CBR”) networks. Specifically, the method involves converting existing XML documents to a machine-oriented notation (“mXML”) which is significantly more compact than XML, while still conveying the content and semantics of the data and the structure of the document. Documents are converted from XML to mXML upon entering a CBR subnetwork and/or upon receipt by an mXML-capable device. The documents are then processed in mXML format. Devices within the inventive system are provided with an awareness of whether target devices or processes are mXML-capable. Documents being routed to a target which is mXML-capable are passed in mXML format while documents being routed to a target which is not mXML-capable are converted to XML before they are passed.

摘要： A machine-oriented notation for representation and interchange of extensible documents: a method, system, and computer program product for operating upon (e.g. parsing, and storing documents in) this notation. The notation, referred to herein as “mXML” for “machine-oriented XML”, is designed to be more compact than the Extensible Markup Language (XML), while still conveying the content and semantics of the data and the structure of the document. Documents may be created directly in mXML. In general case, a document represented using mXML notation can be processed more efficiently than when using the existing human-friendly XML notation, requires less storage space, and has a lower transmission cost for data interchange. XML documents can be converted to mXML using techniques of the present invention, and vice versa. Techniques disclosed herein are also applicable to notations other than XML.

摘要： The present invention provides a method, system, and computer program product for applying transformations to extensible documents, enabling reductions in the processing time required to transform arbitrarily-structured documents having particular well-defined elements. Signatures for structured document types are defined, along with one or more transformations to be performed upon documents of that type. The transformations are specified using syntax elements referred to as maps. A map specifies an operation code for the transformation to be performed, and describes the input and output of the associated transformation. A special map processing engine locates an appropriate transformation object to a particular input document at run-time, and applies the transformation operation according to the map definition. This technique is preferably used for a set of predetermined core transformations, with other transformations being processed using stylesheet engines of the prior art. The input documents may be encoded in the Extensible Markup Language (XML), or in other structured notations. The techniques of the present invention are particularly well suited to use in high-volume and throughput-sensitive environments such as that encountered by business-to-business transaction servers.

摘要： Host interaction and terminal emulation sessions are conducted between a client and a resource by transitioning between terminal emulation states that represent interaction between the client and the resource. Transitions from a present terminal emulation state to a next terminal emulation state is automatically performed based on output provided by the resource and the present terminal emulation state. The terminal emulation may thereby be provided by ScriptUnits XML tags that represent the transitioning of terminal emulation states. The ScriptUnits can be parsed to create an object tree that can be manipulated using a visual editor. The visual editor may be used to change existing states in the terminal emulation session and add new states. The visual manipulation may allow a person who is unfamiliar with source programming languages to support the terminal emulation services. The format of the script representation may allow one vendor to import a script from another vendor to process in the importing vendor's internal structure without affecting the external terminal emulation programs.

摘要： The present invention provides a method, system, and computer program product for caching objects to improve performance and resource utilization of software applications which interact with a back-end data source, such as a legacy host application and/or legacy host data store or database. Read-only requests for information are satisfied from the cache, avoiding the overhead of a network round-trip and the computing overhead of repeating an interaction with the back-end data source. Refreshes of cached objects and update requests to objects may be queued for delayed processing (for example, at a time when the system is lightly loaded), thereby improving system resource utilization. A sequence of actions that may be required to initiate, and interact with, the refresh and update processes is also preferably stored in the cached objects. This technique is applicant-independent, and may therefore be used for objects having an arbitrary format.

摘要： Methods, systems, and computer program products for automatically transforming data or business messages to enable communication between parties in a distributed computing environment (e.g. between business partners who exchange data over a public network, and who do not necessarily use the same data formats), where this data transformation preferably occurs at the edge of the computing network. A set of transformation services is described, and include template registration, transformation, forward, and receive services. Services from this set may optionally be combined to create composite transformation services. A template defines how to transform one data format into another. Selection criteria may be provided to enable dynamically selecting a template at run-time. Using these services, one business partner simply hands its data off into the network to a network-accessible transformation service, where the data is automatically transformed into a format usable by its business partner and forwarded to that business partner.

摘要： A method, system, and computer program product for automatically synchronizing data between a replicated version and a back-end data store version which may or may not have the same format. Queues are used for scheduling refreshes of read-access objects and updates of write-access objects, where the actual processing will occur when the client device connects to the back-end data source. This technique is application-independent, and does not require writing application-specific code to perform a synchronization between data stores having dissimilar storage formats. This technique is particularly advantageous for mobile computing devices, which may operate primarily in a disconnected mode, and for distributed branch-office computing environments where a local server has a replicated copy of data stored at a back-end enterprise system. This technique is also advantageous where the back-end data source uses legacy host application or database storage formats, and where the client software uses modem object-oriented data storage formats. A technique is defined for offloading the processing to a remote machine.
