20100094671 | PIN-less Debit Payment Processing - This document describes tools for providing PIN-less debit (PLD) processing for a client, such as a merchant. In some embodiments, the tools intercept a request from a client to process a payment transaction for a consumer. If PLD processing is available for the transaction, the tools provide an indication to the client that PLD processing is an available option for processing the payment transaction. If the tools receive an indication that the consumer has opted to process the payment as a PLD transaction, the tools negotiate with a payment processor for fulfillment of the payment transaction. The tools are configured to handle one or more of the certification and compliance procedures required to process PLD transactions with a payment processor, thus allowing the client to process PLD transactions without having a direct payment processing relationship with a payment processor that offers PLD transaction processing. | 04-15-2010 |

20120066394 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SUPPORTING LAZY DESERIALIZATION OF SESSION INFORMATION IN A SERVER CLUSTER - A system and method can support in-memory session replication in a server cluster using a lazy deserialization approach. The server cluster can include a primary application server and a secondary application server. The primary application server operates to receive a request associated with a session from a client and maintains session information associated with the session. Based on the session information, the primary application server can responds to the client. The secondary application server operates to receive and maintain serialized session information from the primary application server. The secondary application server operates to update the serialized session information based on one or more session updates received from the primary application server. When the primary application server fails, the secondary application server can generate deserialized session information based on the updated serialized session information and responds to the client. | 03-15-2012 |
