20100070553 | DYNAMIC SERVICE INVOCATION AND SERVICE ADAPTATION IN BPEL SOA PROCESS - Techniques for dynamic service invocation and dynamic service adaptation in the context of a service oriented application. In one set of embodiments, a plurality of mediator services are introduced between the application and a plurality of actual services accessed by the application. The plurality of mediator services are configured to expose a common, abstract operation. At application runtime, the application determines, via a rules engine, a selection of a mediator service, and invokes the abstract operation by sending an invocation message to the selected mediator service. The selected mediator service transforms (i.e., adapts) the message into a format appropriate for invoking an actual operation exposed by an actual service associated with the selected mediator service. The selected mediator service then invokes the actual operation by sending the transformed message to the actual service. | 03-18-2010 |
20100070973 | GENERIC WAIT SERVICE: PAUSING A BPEL PROCESS - A generic wait service for facilitating the pausing of service-oriented applications. In one set of embodiments, the generic wait service receives, from a paused instance of an application, an initiation message comprising a set of key attributes and an exit criterion. The key attributes uniquely identify the paused instance, and the exit criterion identifies a condition that should be satisfied before the paused instance is allowed to proceed. The generic wait service then receives, from one or more event producers, notification messages comprising status information (e.g., statuses of business events) and information correlating the notification messages to particular instances. If a notification message is determined to be correlated to the paused instance, the generic wait service evaluates the exit criterion based on the status information included in the message. If the exit criterion is satisfied, the paused instance is notified of the status information and is allowed to proceed. | 03-18-2010 |
20140282602 | GENERIC WAIT SERVICE: PAUSING A BPEL PROCESS - A method of pausing a plurality of service-oriented application (SOA) instances may include receiving, from an instance of an SOA entering a pause state, an initiation message. The initiation message may include an exit criterion that identifies a business condition that must be satisfied before the instance of the SOA exits the pause state. The method may also include receiving a notification from an event producer, the notification comprising a status of a business event and determining whether the status of the business event satisfies the business condition of the exit criterion. The method may additionally include sending, in response to a determination that the status of the business event satisfies the business condition of the exit criterion, an indication to the instance of the SOA that the business condition has been satisfied such that the instance of the SOA can exit the pause state. | 09-18-2014 |

20130086020 | Interactive Web Application Framework - An interactive web application framework allows a user to define user interface and logic of a web application and publish the web application. A first application server can receive database data from a database server. The first application can process the database data to generate publication data. A second application server can receive the publication data from the first application server. The second application server can process the publication data to generate web data. The second application server can then send the web data to a web server for pushing to a web browser. | 04-04-2013 |

The message can including metadata indicating that the second web application system received the data from the browser of a user device using a first connection between the second web application system and the browser. The first web application system can send the data to a database server as a request, and receive a response from the database server. Upon receiving the response, the first web application system can cause the second web application system to create a second connection between the second web application system and the browser based on the metadata. The response can be sent to the browser through the second connection asynchronously with the message. | 04-04-2013 |
20130086146 | Notification Based Web Applications - An interactive web application framework allows a user to define user interface and logic of a web application and publish the web application.

The database notification can be generated by the database server in response to a request from a user device. The request can be a request to receive information when any state change occurs at the database server. The web application system can initiate communication with the user device without responding to a specific request requesting the update. The web application system can generate instructions for refreshing the user interface item in a browser, and push the instructions to the user device. | 04-04-2013 |
20140330896 | Asynchronous Data Manipulation - Methods, program products, and systems of synchronizing data while the data is being edited by a user are disclosed. A web application system implementing a notification-based web application framework can allow a user to focus or edit data in a browser on a client device while the data displayed in the browser is being synchronized with data stored on a database server. The user edit and the synchronization can be asynchronous with one another, where editing can occur before a response from the database server is received. Accordingly, user perceived response time is improved over a conventional system where a user must wait for the response from the server before the user can proceed to edit the data. | 11-06-2014 |
