摘要:
An improved method and apparatus for creating a context-sensitive pathsend in a asynchronous data packet network of the kind used typically in on-line transaction processing where a particular receiving server in a server pool must communicate with a particular originating client. By piggybacking messages and employing run-time binding to create a logical connection between the server and client, the present invention achieves a dramatic improvement in processing data packets and minimizing system resources. In a preferred embodiment the invention is backwardly compatible with existing context-free applications.

Methods, systems, and computer program products that provide for a runtime messaging infrastructure, which abstracts send and receive operations for exchanging messages with partner endpoint. The messaging infrastructure improves availability and scalability of a message application by improving on the availability and scalability of the underlying message transports. In particular, availability and scalability are improved by linking the message application at runtime with any number of the message transports, without the message application specifying a transport at development time. The message infrastructure receives instructions from the message application specifying end-to-end delivery assurances. The infrastructure uses transports in order to fulfill the specified delivery assurance, and creates a link between the message application and transports for use in exchanging messages. Session state storage can be maintained in a pluggable store, which could be, for example, a durable database store or an application memory store.
摘要:
A single programming model is provided for accessing a plurality of distinct message transports while developing one or more applications for message delivery between two endpoints. The programming model allows for independently configurable assurances and features for transporting the messages. The configurable assurances may be selected from at least once delivery, at most once message delivery, in order message delivery, and message time to live. The independently chosen features may include a session state storage, an extension of time to live, and transacted message buffering.

A virtual applications architecture is provided according to the present invention. The architecture includes a topology manager for managing applications across a plurality of members, and a virtual applications manager for defining a plurality of resources comprising the applications. The topology manager communicates with the plurality of members to initiate scaling of the applications associated with the virtual applications manager to the members. The architecture may also include a replication system for deploying the applications to the members.

Example embodiments provide for a binding mechanism between RM protocols and request-response transport protocols (e.g., HTTP) in a one-way message exchange pattern. The present invention leverages existing network characteristics of request-response transport protocols without reconfiguration or deployment of new infrastructure services. A request-response transport model is asymmetrical in nature and provides two data-flows; a request flow and a reply flow. When an initiator is not addressable and/or when communication requires a request-response transport, the present invention allows infrastructure and application messages to be sent on the request flow, while acknowledgments and other infrastructure messages may be sent back across the reply flow of the transport.
摘要:
The present invention monitors the receipt of messages between two endpoints on established sequence session in accordance with a Reliable Messaging protocol for Web Services (RM-WS protocol). The messages received may be application or infrastructure messages (e.g., acknowledgement messages in accordance with the RM-WS protocol). Further, the present invention defines a time period known as the inactivity timeout, which is an upper limit to the time that may pass without receiving a message (either application or infrastructure) on the sequence session. Based on this inactivity timeout period, the present invention calculates time periods for sending idempotent infrastructure messages in accordance with the RM-WS protocol for verifying and maintaining connection liveliness.
