A computer-implemented method for managing a dynamic Web page generation request to a Web server, said computer-implemented method comprising the steps of: routing said request from said Web server to a page server, said page server receiving said request and releasing said Web server to process other requests, wherein said routing step further includes the steps of intercepting said request at said Web server, routing said request from said Web server to a dispatcher, and dispatching said request to said page server; processing said request, said processing being performed by said page server while said Web server concurrently processes said other requests; and dynamically generating a Web page in response to said request, said Web page including data dynamically retrieved from one or more data sources. view more

The computer-implemented method in claim 1 wherein said step of processing said request includes the step of identifying said one or more data sources from which to retrieve said data.

The computer-implemented method in claim 2 wherein said step of dynamically generating said Web page includes the step of dynamically retrieving said data from said one or more data sources.

The computer-implemented method in claim 3 wherein said step of processing said request includes the step of said page server maintaining a connection cache to said one or more data sources.

The computer-implemented method in claim 3 wherein said step of processing said request includes the step of logging into said one or more data sources.

The computer-implemented method in claim 3 wherein said page server includes custom HTML extension templates for configuring said Web page.

The computer-implemented method in claim 7 wherein said step of processing said request further includes the step of inserting said dynamically retrieved data from said one or more data sources into said custom HTML extension templates.

A machine readable medium having stored thereon data representing sequences of instructions, which when executed by a computer system, cause said computer system to perform the steps of: routing a dynamic Web page generation request from a Web server to a page server, said page server receiving said request and releasing said Web server to process other requests wherein said routing step further includes the steps of intercepting said request at said Web server, routing said request from said Web server to a dispatcher, and dispatching said request to said page server; processing said request, said processing being performed by said page server while said Web server concurrently processes said other requests; and dynamically generating a Web page, said Web page including data retrieved from one or more data sources. view more
