Abstract: A system and method of composing a query object for application against a database is provided. The method composes a selection clause for the query. Next, a criteria clause for the query is generated, with the criteria clause comprising input criteria relat ed to the query and additional criteria specified against the query and generated criteria based on a joint relationship. Next a source clause utilizing elements in the database accessed by the quer y is generated. A database traversal system and method is provided. The method identifies all tables directly accessible by each table and creating a data structure comprising an entry for each table. The entry comprises an identification field for each table and a link field identifying the all tables directly accessible by each table. The data structure is traversed and an optimum path of the traversal paths utilizing data obtained from traversing the data structure is identified.

Abstract: A system and method for handling multiple identical requests received by a server from a client by a web application server. When multiple requests for the same URL are received by a web application server from the same client browser which results in the allocation of multiple threads on the server to handle the requests, a response to the client is obtained from the processing carried out by the first thread launched by the web application server. Results of t he initial thread are passed to the client using the last opened connection between the client and server relating to the client's request for the URL. Other threads are placed in a wait state and are deallocated, at the earliest opportunity, where possible.

Abstract: A system method of interfacing a computer system executing commercial transactions initiated from communication devices, each communication device having a display, with custom display parameters, is provided. For the system and method, at the computer system, for each device, a command is received and translated into a common format command. The common format command is executed and results therefrom are received. A database is access ed having elements identifying sets of display parameters, one set of the sets is for use with the custom display parameters. One set of display parameters is retrieved from the database.

Abstract: The invention relates to marketing page elements (MPEs) used to achieve separation between tasks relating to the design of a web page with marketing content and the design of a means for determining what marketing content should be presented to viewers of the web page. In the preferred embodiment of the invention, a marketing page element comprises multiple marketing page element items. Data items are stor ed in the marketing page element, and at least one data item is associated with a marketing page element item, the data items having been selected for presentation on the we b page by a marketing content selection system in accordance with a marketing strategy. Web page elements, each being connected to a marketing page element item and capable of presenting an associated data item stored in the marketing page element, can be arranged on a web page during the web page's design, without regard for the manner in which data items are to be selected by the marketing content selection system. Conversely, changes to the manner in which data items are selected by the marketing content selection system can be effected without regard for the manner in which the web page elements are to be laid out on the web page.

Abstract: A mechanism to enable context-sensitive attributes which comprise an attribute value and a context value defining the applicability of the attribute value in a computer application. The mechanism is adapted to manipulate the context-sensitive attributes, for example to facilitate creation of attribute values with associated context values, retrieve attribute values associated with a specific context value and search based on attribute values within a context value.
