Using state information in a distributed environment
First Claim
1. A computer program product for use in a computer network environment that includes a requesting computing system configured to dispatch a request, a responding computing system configured to generate a response to the request, and a processing computing system configured to process a response to the request, wherein each of the requesting computing system and the responding computing system have independent processors, the computer program product comprising one or more computer-readable media having computer-executable instructions for implementing a method for processing the response to the request without the processing computing system beforehand having all of the state information relevant to process the request, the method comprising the following:
- the requesting computing system generating a request that includes a portion that is to be transferred with a request and returned in a response to the request and without affecting the processing of the request, the portion including state information relevant for the processing computing entity to process a response to the request;
the requesting computing system dispatching the request to the responding computer entity and without storing the state information;
the processing computer system receiving a response to the request, the response including the portion that was transferred from the request without affecting the processing of the request; and
processing the response using the state information included in the response.

Abstract
Processing a response to a network request using information that was transplanted into the response from a specific portion of the request. A requesting computer system generates an electronic request that includes the specific portion. The requesting computer system then submits the request to a responding computer system, which processes the request to form a response to the request. During processing of the request, the responding system transplants the specific portion of the request to the response. The responding computer system then transmits the response to the request to a processing computer system that processes the request. The processing computer system receives the response and extracts the information from the specific portion of the response. The processing computer system then uses the extracted information to process the request.

5. A computer program product for use in a computer network environment that includes a requesting computing system configured to dispatch a request, a responding computing system configured to generate a response to the request, and a processing computing system configured to process a response to the request, wherein each of the requesting computing system and the responding computing system have independent processors, the computer program product comprising one or more computer-readable media having computer-executable instructions for implementing a method for processing the response to the request without the processing computing system beforehand having all of the state information relevant to process the request, the computer program product comprising:
-
computer executable instructions for a requesting computing system to dispatch a request that includes an echo portion that is to be transferred with a request and returned in a response to the request without affecting the processing of the request, the portion including state information relevant for the processing computing entity to process a response to the request, wherein the requesting computer system sends the request without storing the state information to a responding computer system;
computer executable instructions for a responding computer system to generate the response without being affected by the echo portion, and to transplant the echo portion in the response;
computer executable instructions for a processing computer system to receive and process a response to the request using the state information that was included in the response. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8)

9. In a computer network environment that includes a requesting computing system configured to dispatch a request, a responding computing system configured to generate a response to the request, and a processing computing system configured to process a response to the request, wherein each of the requesting computing system and the responding computing system have independent processors, a method for processing the response to the request without the processing computing system beforehand having all of the state information relevant to process the request, the method comprising:
-
requesting computing system to dispatch a request that includes an echo portion that is to be transferred with a request and returned in a response to the request without affecting the processing of the request, the portion including state information relevant for the processing computing entity to process a response to the request, wherein the requesting computer system sends the request without storing the state information to a responding computer system;
wherein a responding computer system generates the response without being affected by the echo portion, and transplants the echo portion in the response; and
wherein a processing computer system receives and processes a response to the request using the state information that was included in the response. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12)
