Abstract

A method, system, and computer program include receiving a request string, and mapping the received request string to a distinguishable request string and a collapsible request string. The received request string may be in the form of a JSP, a servlet, and remote Enterprise Java Bean calls. A user may be prompted to create rules for mapping of a received request string to a distinguishable request string and a collapsible request string.

Claims

1. A method for processing of requests, comprising:

receiving a request string; and

mapping the received request string to a distinguishable request string and a collapsible request string.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the received request string is in the form of one of a JSP, a servlet, and remote Enterprise Java Bean calls.

3. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

prompting a user to create rules for mapping of a received request string to a distinguishable request string and a collapsible request string;

receiving rules in response to the step of prompting; and

applying the received rules.

4. A system for handling requests, comprising means for:

receiving a request string; and

means for mapping the received request string to a distinguishable request string and a collapsible request string.

5. The system of claim 4, wherein the received request string is in the form of one of a JSP, a servlet, and a remote Enterprise Java Bean call.

6. The system claim 4, further comprising:

means for prompting a user to create rules for mapping of a received request string to a distinguishable request string and a collapsible request string; and

means for applying rules received in response to a prompt to a user to create rules for mapping of a received request string to a distinguishable request string and a collapsible request string.

7. A computer program for processing of requests, said program consisting of instructions stored on a medium, said instructions, when executed on a processor causing the processor to execute:

receiving a request string; and

mapping the received request string to a distinguishable request string and a collapsible request string.

8. The computer program of claim 7, wherein the received request string is in the form of one of a JSP, a servlet, and remote Enterprise Java Bean calls.

9. The computer program of claim 7, wherein said instructions, when executed on a processor causing the processor to execute:

prompting a user to create rules for mapping of a received request string to a distinguishable request string and a collapsible request string;

receiving rules in response to the step of prompting; and

applying the received rules.
