20100083271 | Resource Property Aggregation In A Multi-Provider System - The present invention provides for resource property aggregation. A set of new instances is received from one or more providers. For each new instance in the set of new instances, a determination is made as to whether the new instance represents a same resource as at least one other instance. Responsive to determining that the new instance represents the same resource as another instance, a set of properties associated with the new instance and with the at least one other instance are identified. Each property from the new instance is compared to an associated property in the at least one other instance using a set of precedence rules. At least one property value is identified from either the new instance or the at least one other instance. An aggregate instance is then generated that represents the resource using the identified property values. | 04-01-2010 |
20100268758 | PROCESSING A PLURALITY OF REQUESTS SIMULTANEOUSLY IN A WEB APPLICATION - A mechanism is provided for sending a plurality of requests to a server. A set of calls is received in a client from a set of client applications. Each call is for a request to be sent to the server and each call comprises a plurality of parameters.
