Internal persistence of session state information
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- in a computing system with multiple virtual machines and where said computing system does not support persistence of session information in a shared memory that is internal to said computing system and that is accessible to each of said virtual machines;
a) receiving a deployment descriptor that specifies a persistence scope that does not extend beyond said computing system;
b) as a consequence of said receiving, instantiating a plug-in for said computing system'"'"'s file system; and
, c) over the course of a session, managing the persistence of said session'"'"'s session state information in said computing system'"'"'s file system by, with program code provided by said plug-in, translating a first command that is not specific to said file system into a second command that is specific to said file system, said session state information comprising a plurality of attributes, said first command to cause a process to be performed, said process selected from the group consisting of;
storing in said file system one of said attributes; and
, retrieving from said file system one of said attributes.

Abstract
A method is described for a computing system with multiple virtual machines that does not support persistence of session information in a shared memory that is internal to the computing system and that is accessible to each of the virtual machines. The method involves receiving a deployment descriptor that specifies a persistence scope that does not extend beyond the computing system. Then, as a consequence of the receiving, a plug-in is instantiated for the computing system'"'"'s file system. The, over the course of a session, managing the persistence of the session'"'"'s session state information in the computing system'"'"'s file system by, with program code provided by the plug-in, translating a first command that is not specific to the file system into a second command that is specific to the file system. The session state information comprises a plurality of attributes. The command causes a process to be performed The process is selected from the group consisting of: storing in the file system one of the attributes; and, retrieving from the file system one of the attributes.

7. An article of manufacture including program code which, when executed by a machine, causes the machine to perform a method, the method comprising:
in a computing system with multiple virtual machines and where said computing system does not support persistence of session information in a shared memory that is internal to said computing system and that is accessible to each of said virtual machines;
a) as a consequence of processing a received deployment descriptor that specifies a persistence scope that does not extend beyond said computing system, instantiating a plug-in for said computing system'"'"'s file system; and
,b) over the course of a session, managing the persistence of said session'"'"'s session state information in said computing system'"'"'s file system by, with program code provided by said plug-in, translating a first command that is not specific to said file system into a second command that is specific to said file system, said session state information comprising a plurality of attributes, said first command to cause a process to be performed, said process selected from the group consisting of;
storing in said file system one of said attributes; and

13. A computing system comprising a machine, said computing system also comprising instructions disposed on a computer readable medium, said instructions capable of being executed by said machine to perform a method, computing system comprising multiple virtual machines, said computing system not supporting persistence of session information in a shared memory that is internal to said computing system and that is accessible to each of said virtual machines, said method comprising:
-
a) as a consequence of processing a received deployment descriptor that specifies a persistence scope that does not extend beyond said computing system, instantiating a plug-in for said computing system'"'"'s file system; and
,b) over the course of a session, managing the persistence of said session'"'"'s session state information in said computing system'"'"'s file system by, with program code provided by said plug-in, translating a first command that is not specific to said file system into a second command that is specific to said file system, said session state information comprising a plurality of attributes, said first command to cause a process to be performed, said process selected from the group consisting of;
storing in said file system one of said attributes; and
,retrieving from said file system one of said attributes. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
