Abstract
Abstract A method and apparatus for extending the capability of uniform Resource Locators (URLs) to access Repositories on local and Internet connected remote machines. A general syntax for a uniform resource locator for a local machine has a protocol of "beans:", followed by an optional entry for a drive letter. The drive letter allows specification of a local device (e.g., A: or C: drive) where a repository is located. In addition, the general syntax contains entries for a file system path, repository name and Java Archive designation. The general syntax for the uniform resource locator for a remote machine has a protocol of "beans:" followed by entries for host name, file system path, repository name, and the Java Archive designation.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 18
Claim 1
Independent Claim
98 words
A method, implemented in a computer system, for extending a uniform resource locator to specify a local Java Beans repository on said computer system and a remote Java Beans repository on a remote device connected to said computer system, comprising the steps of: creating a uniform resource locator for use by a web browser having a protocol for a Java Bean on said computer system; and including a Java Archive indicator in said uniform resource locator having said protocol to allow specification of said local Java Beans repository on said computer system and said remote Java Beans repository.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
98 words
A method, implemented in a computer system, for extending a uniform resource locator to specify a local Java Beans repository on said computer system and a remote Java Beans repository on a remote device connected to said computer system, comprising the steps of: creating a uniform resource locator for use by a web browser having a protocol for a Java Bean on said computer system; and including a Java Archive indicator in said uniform resource locator having said protocol to allow specification of said local Java Beans repository on said computer system and said remote Java Beans repository.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
42 words
The method of claim 1 wherein said step of creating a uniform resource locator further comprises: appending a drive letter on said uniform resource locator having said protocol to indicate a local device on said computer for said local Java Beans repository.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
44 words
The method of claim 1 wherein said step of creating a uniform resource locator further comprises: appending a repository name on said uniform resource locator having said protocol for specifying a name for said local Java Beans repository and said remote Java Beans repository.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
46 words
The method of claim 1 wherein said step of creating a uniform resource locator further comprises: appending a file system path on said uniform resource locator having said protocol to specify a path name for said local Java Beans repository and said remote Java Beans repository.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
44 words
The method of claim 1 wherein said step of creating a uniform resource locator further comprises: appending a sub-element on said uniform resource locator having said protocol separated by a unique delimiter to allow specification of said sub-element in said remote Java Beans repository.
Claim 7
Independent Claim
94 words
An apparatus for extending a uniform resource locator to specify a local Java Beans repository on said computer system and a remote Java Beans repository on a remote device connected to said computer system, comprising: means for creating a uniform resource locator for use by a web browser having a protocol for a Java Bean on said computer system; and means for including a Java Archive indicator in said uniform resource locator having said protocol to allow specification of said local Java Beans repository on said computer system and said remote Java Beans repository.
Claim 8
Independent Claim
94 words
An apparatus for extending a uniform resource locator to specify a local Java Beans repository on said computer system and a remote Java Beans repository on a remote device connected to said computer system, comprising: means for creating a uniform resource locator for use by a web browser having a protocol for a Java Bean on said computer system; and means for including a Java Archive indicator in said uniform resource locator having said protocol to allow specification of said local Java Beans repository on said computer system and said remote Java Beans repository.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
44 words
The apparatus of claim 6 wherein said means for creating a uniform resource locator further comprises: means for appending a drive letter on said uniform resource locator having said protocol to indicate a local device on said computer for said local Java Beans repository.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
46 words
The apparatus of claim 6 wherein said means for creating a uniform resource locator further comprises: means for appending a repository name on said uniform resource locator having said protocol for specifying a name for said local Java Beans repository and said remote Java Beans repository.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
48 words
The apparatus of claim 6 wherein said means for creating a uniform resource locator further comprises: means for appending a file system path on said uniform resource locator having said protocol to specify a path name for said local Java Beans repository and said remote Java Beans repository.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
46 words
The apparatus of claim 6 wherein said means for creating a uniform resource locator further comprises: means for appending a sub-element on said uniform resource locator having said protocol separated by a unique delimiter to allow specification of said sub-element in said remote Java Beans repository.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
111 words
A computer program product having a computer readable medium having computer program logic recorded thereon for extending a uniform resource locator to specify a local Java Beans repository on said computer system and a remote Java Beans repository on a remote device connected to said computer system, comprising: computer readable means for creating a uniform resource locator for use by a web browser having a protocol for a Java Bean on said computer system; and computer readable means for including a Java Archive indicator in said uniform resource locator having said protocol to allow specification of said local Java Beans repository on said computer system and said remote Java Beans repository.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
111 words
A computer program product having a computer readable medium having computer program logic recorded thereon for extending a uniform resource locator to specify a local Java Beans repository on said computer system and a remote Java Beans repository on a remote device connected to said computer system, comprising: computer readable means for creating a uniform resource locator for use by a web browser having a protocol for a Java Bean on said computer system; and computer readable means for including a Java Archive indicator in said uniform resource locator having said protocol to allow specification of said local Java Beans repository on said computer system and said remote Java Beans repository.
Claim 15
Dependent Claim
50 words
A computer program product of claim 11 wherein said computer readable means for creating a uniform resource locator further comprises: computer readable means for appending a drive letter on said uniform resource locator having said protocol to indicate a local device on said computer for said local Java Beans repository.
Claim 16
Dependent Claim
52 words
A computer program product of claim 11 wherein said computer readable means for creating a uniform resource locator further comprises: computer readable means for appending a repository name on said uniform resource locator having said protocol for specifying a name for said local Java Beans repository and said remote Java Beans repository.
Claim 17
Dependent Claim
54 words
A computer program product of claim 11 wherein said computer readable means for creating a uniform resource locator further comprises: computer readable means for appending a file system path on said uniform resource locator having said protocol to specify a path name for said local Java Beans repository and said remote Java Beans repository.
