1. A method for providing “
- guaranteed message delivery”
for network based communications between a client machine and a server, wherein said client machine comprises a Client Runtime Environment (CRE) and said server comprises a Server Runtime Environment (SRE), said method comprising;
maintaining a first message queue in said CRE;
attaching a first unique identification to a first message from said first message queue and sending said first message from said CRE to said SRE via said http communication;
receiving said first message by said SRE and sending an acknowledgement of said receipt of said first message by said SRE to said CRE; and
upon receiving of said acknowledgement by said CRE within a certain time threshold, removing said first message from said first message queue in said CRE.

Abstract
A method for providing “guaranteed message delivery” for network based communications between a client machine and a server. The client machine includes a Client Runtime Environment (CRE) and the server includes a Server Runtime Environment (SRE). The method includes the following steps. A first message queue is maintained in the CRE. A first unique identification is attached to the first message from the first message queue and the first message is sent from the CRE to the SRE via a network communication. The SRE receives the first message and sends an acknowledgement of the receipt of the first message to the CRE. Upon receiving of the acknowledgement within a certain time threshold, the CRE removes the first message from the first message queue in the CRE. A method of providing “server-push” of messages from the server to the client machine utilizing a push Servlet and a push API.

5. A method for providing “
- once-and-only-once message delivery”
for network-based communications between a client machine and a server, wherein said client machine comprises a Client Runtime Environment (CRE) and said server comprises a Server Runtime Environment (SRE), said method comprising;
maintaining a first message queue in said CRE;
attaching a first unique identification to a first message from said first message queue and sending said first message from said CRE to said SRE via said http communication;
receiving said first message by said SRE and checking whether said first message with said first unique identification has been previously received by said SRE or not; and
upon determining that said first message with said first unique identification has been previously received by said SRE, discarding said first message. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8)

9. A method for providing “
- guaranteed order message delivery”
for network based communications between a client machine and a server, wherein said client machine comprises a Client Runtime Environment (CRE) and said server comprises a Server Runtime Environment (SRE), said method comprising;
maintaining a first message queue in said CRE wherein said first message queue comprises at least a first message and a second message and said first message is ordered after said second message in said first message queue;
attaching a first unique identification to said first message wherein said first unique identification comprises a first indication that said first message is ordered after said second message;
sending said first message from said CRE to said SRE via said http communication;
receiving said first message by said SRE and checking whether said second message has been previously received by said SRE; and
upon determining that said second message has not been received yet, sending a request to said CRE for sending said second message. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12)

13. A method for performing ‘
- server-push”
of information from a server to a client machine for a Java Servlet based web application via a request/response communication cycle comprising;
providing an application server having a Java Servlet Engine for running said Java Servlet based web application;
providing a push Servlet and a push Application Program Interface (API) wherein said push Servlet maintains open a network connection from said server to said client machine; and
wherein said Java Servlet based web application calls said push API to push information from said server to said client machine. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
