Abstract
Abstract A method and apparatus for operating a local server computer of a client-server network includes a technique to receive a request from a client computer of the client-server network. A determination is made whether the request requires dynamically generated information from a servlet object of the client-server network. If so, a specified servlet object corresponding to the request may be uploaded from a remote server computer of the client-server network. The specified servlet object is then executed to obtain dynamically generated information corresponding to the request.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 17
Claim 1
Independent Claim
76 words
A method of dynamically generating information using a server computer of a client-server network, the method comprising: receiving, at said server computer, a request from a client computer of the client-server network; determining that said request requires dynamically generated information from a servlet object of said server computer; executing said specified servlet object to obtain dynamically generated information corresponding to said request; and communicating said dynamically generated information from said servlet object to said client computer.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
76 words
A method of dynamically generating information using a server computer of a client-server network, the method comprising: receiving, at said server computer, a request from a client computer of the client-server network; determining that said request requires dynamically generated information from a servlet object of said server computer; executing said specified servlet object to obtain dynamically generated information corresponding to said request; and communicating said dynamically generated information from said servlet object to said client computer.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
20 words
The method of claim 1 , wherein said servlet object is implemented as object bytecodes in the JAVA programming language.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
53 words
The method of claim 1 , wherein said communicating comprises: passing said dynamically generated information from said specified servlet object to a web server operation on said server computer, said passing step being facilitated by an application programming interface; and sending said dynamically generated information from said web server to said client computer.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
41 words
The method of claim 1 , further comprising, at start-up of said server computer, instantiating a plurality of servlet objects, each of said plurality of servlet objects continuously operating until invoked in response to a specified request from a client computer.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
21 words
The method of claim 1 , further comprising instantiating said servlet object in response to said request form said client computer.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
19 words
The method of claim 1 , further comprising instantiating said servlet object in response to an activated servlet URL.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
13 words
The method of claim 6 , wherein said activated servlet URL comprises arguments.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
107 words
A computer readable memory that can be used to direct a server computer of a client-server computer network to function in a specified manner, comprising: a first set of instructions to receive, at said server computer, a request from a client computer of said client-server network; a second set of instructions to determine that said request requires dynamically generated information from a servlet object of said server computer; a third set of instructions to execute said specified servlet object to obtain dynamically generated information corresponding to said request; and a fourth set of instructions to communicate dynamically generated information from said servlet object to said client computer.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
107 words
A computer readable memory that can be used to direct a server computer of a client-server computer network to function in a specified manner, comprising: a first set of instructions to receive, at said server computer, a request from a client computer of said client-server network; a second set of instructions to determine that said request requires dynamically generated information from a servlet object of said server computer; a third set of instructions to execute said specified servlet object to obtain dynamically generated information corresponding to said request; and a fourth set of instructions to communicate dynamically generated information from said servlet object to said client computer.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
22 words
The computer readable memory of claim 8 , wherein said servlet object is implemented as object bytecodes in the JAVA programming language.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
55 words
The computer readable memory of claim 8 , wherein said fourth set of instructions comprise: instructions to pass, through an application programming interface, dynamically generated information from said servlet object to a web server operating on said server computer; and instructions to send said dynamically generated information from said web server to said client computer.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
48 words
The computer readable memory of claim 8 , further comprising a set of instructions to instantiate a plurality of servlet objects at start-up of said server computer, each of said plurality of servlet objects continuously operating until invoked in response to a specified request form a client computer.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
23 words
The computer readable memoru of claim 11 , further comprising a set of instructions to pass data between said plurality of servlet objects.
Claim 15
Dependent Claim
28 words
The computer readable memory of claim 8 , further comprising a set of instructions to instantiate said servlet object in response to said request from said client computer.
Claim 16
Dependent Claim
26 words
The computer readable memory of claim 8 , further comprising a set of instructions to instantiate said servlet object in response to an activated servlet URL.
Claim 17
Dependent Claim
15 words
The computer readable memory of claim 14 , wherein said activated servlet URL comprise arguments.
