| 20090083296 | Metadata endpoint for a generic service - A metadata endpoint for a generic service is disclosed. The technology initially defines an endpoint for metadata which was previously combined with a corresponding data endpoint. The metadata and corresponding data endpoint were combined in a first Service Oriented Environment (SOE) in which a combining constraint is not placed upon metadata and corresponding data endpoints. A location for accessing the endpoint for metadata is published for use by a second SOE in which a combining constraint is placed upon metadata and corresponding data. | 03-26-2009 |
| 20090083762 | Dynamically mapping an action of a message - A system and method for dynamically mapping an action of a message is disclosed. The technology initially receives a first message generated by a first Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). The first message comprises an operation which is described within the message context of the first message. It is then determined that the operation corresponds to an action of a second SOA. A second message is then generated which is compatible with the second SOA. The second message comprises metadata which describes the action of the second SOA. | 03-26-2009 |
| 20090133036 | COORDINATING RESOURCES USING A VOLATILE NETWORK INTERMEDIARY - The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for coordinating resources using a volatile network intermediary. Embodiments provide a mechanism for an network intermediary to facilitate a state coordination pattern between an application and a communication medium when the communication medium does not support the state coordination pattern. In some embodiments, receiving applications can make use of this network intermediary by changing the receive location. However, the receiving application may not be able to distinguish the network intermediary from a native implementation of the state coordination pattern. Further, the network intermediary does not require deployment of a persistent or durable store to coordinate state between receiving applications and the original communication medium. | 05-21-2009 |
| 20090133037 | COORDINATING APPLICATION STATE AND COMMUNICATION MEDIUM STATE - The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for coordinating application sate and communication mediums state. Embodiments of present invention provide a mechanism for a communication medium to provide a view of message content for a message (a peek) to an application along with the communication medium preventing further access to the message (a lock) until the application signals back how to handle the message. Thus, the communication medium indicates that the message is locked for the duration of processing at the application. Indicating that the message is locked significantly reduces the chance of the message being provided to another application (or another consumer of the same application) during the time the application is processing the view of message content. | 05-21-2009 |
| 20100057863 | COMPOSING MESSAGE PROCESSING PIPELINES - The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for composing message processing pipelines. Embodiments utilize intra-pipeline communication links to physically and/or temporally decouple pipeline stages, configure branching message flows, and bridge protocols. The use of intra-pipeline communication links permits composition of a message processing pipeline without having to alter the pipeline components or application. Each communication link is itself an application with incoming and outgoing message processing pipelines that bridge messages across time and/or space and application logic for satisfying message processing requirements. | 03-04-2010 |
| 20100057933 | PROBABILISTIC MESH ROUTING - Routing messages using unreliable routing data. A method includes receiving a message from a computer readable communication medium. Characteristic properties of the message are calculated so as to determine state requirements for a service instance at a service for processing of the message. An attempt is made to acquire an appropriate service instance that satisfies the state requirements for processing the message. A determination is made that attempting to acquire an appropriate service instance that satisfies the state requirements for processing the message is not successful at acquiring an appropriate service instance. As a result, the message is redirected using an unreliable local cache of routing information and without coordination between processing nodes. | 03-04-2010 |

Embodiments utilize intra-pipeline communication links to physically and/or temporally decouple pipeline stages, configure branching message flows, and bridge protocols. The use of intra-pipeline communication links permits composition of a message processing pipeline without having to alter the pipeline components or application. Each communication link is itself an application with incoming and outgoing message processing pipelines that bridge messages across time and/or space and application logic for satisfying message processing requirements. | 06-09-2011 |
| 20110179303 | PERSISTENT APPLICATION ACTIVATION AND TIMER NOTIFICATIONS - The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for persistent application activation and timer notifications. A durable instance manager, instance execution hosts, and an instance store interoperate to transition instances between executing and persisted states. System properties are associated with an instance. System properties can define re-activation conditions, that when satisfied, indicate that an instance is to be re-activated for execution. System properties can define timers as well as indications that instances are in a persisted but ready to run state. | 07-21-2011 |
