Data processing method and apparatus thereof
First Claim
1. A data processing method comprising:
- receiving an attribute request from a device management client by a server using a first access protocol, wherein said attribute request comprises a first representation of an attribute of an element of a data processing system;
mapping said attribute request from said first representation into a second representation, said second representation being an object-oriented standard representation comprising;
objects, types of objects, collection of objects and attributes of objects, wherein said objects represent a set of elements;
fetching said attribute from a cache coupled to said server, if said cache stores said attribute of said element;
transforming said attribute request from said first protocol into a second protocol, if said attribute is not stored in said cache;
fetching from a device management provider coupled to said element a plurality of attributes including said attribute using said second protocol, if said attribute is not stored in said cache;
storing said plurality of attributes including said attribute in said cache with said object-oriented standard representation and sending said attribute to said device management client.

Abstract
The invention relates to a data processing method comprising: receiving an attribute request from a device management client by a server using a first access protocol, wherein the attribute request comprises a first representation of an attribute of an element of a data processing system; mapping the attribute request from the first representation into a second representation, the second representation being an object-oriented standard representation comprising: objects, types of objects, collection of objects and attributes of objects, wherein the objects represent a set of elements; fetching the attribute from a cache coupled to the server, if the cache stores the attribute of the element; transforming the attribute request from the first protocol into a second protocol, if the attribute is not stored in the cache; fetching from a device management provider coupled to the element a plurality of attributes including the attribute using the second protocol, if the attribute is not stored in the cache; storing the plurality of attributes including the attribute in the cache with the object-oriented standard representation and sending the attribute to the device management client.

11. A device management server comprising:
-
a first adapter adapted for receiving attribute requests from a device management client by a server using a first access protocol with a first representation and mapping said attribute request from said first representation into an object-oriented standard representation, wherein said attribute request specifies an attribute of an element of a data processing system, wherein said object-oriented representation includes;
objects, types of objects, collection of objects and attributes of objects, wherein said objects represent said set of elements,a core service adapted for fetching said attribute from a cache coupled to said server, wherein said cache is adapted for storing information describing a plurality of attributes of said set of elements, wherein said information is stored in said cache with said object-oriented standard representation, a second adapter for transforming said attribute request from said first protocol into a second protocol and fetching a plurality of attributes including said attribute from a device management provider coupled to said element using said second protocol, if said instance is not stored in said cache. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13)
