Object-oriented system, method and article of manufacture for a client-server session manager in an interprise computing framework system
First Claim
1. A server for a distributed system, comprising:
- (a) a plurality of client computers;
(b) a plurality of server computers;
(c) a network connecting the plurality of client computers to the plurality of server computers;
(d) an execution framework code segment configured to couple the plurality of server computers and the plurality of client computers via the network, comprising;
(1) a session manager in a server computer for responding to a client computer contacting the server computer by selecting a particular client code segment from a plurality of client computer code segments resident on the server computer, and transmitting the particular client code segment over the network to the client computer contacting the server to initiate coupling; and
(2) the session manager in the server computer selecting a particular server computer code segment from a plurality of server computer code segments resident on the server and executing the server computer code segment resident on the server in response to initiation of coupling via the network with the client computer utilizing the transmitted client code segment for communicating via a particular communication protocol.

Abstract
An interprise computing manager in which an application is composed of a client (front end) program which communicates utilizing a network with a server (back end) program. The client and server programs are loosely coupled and exchange information using the network. The client program is composed of a User Interface (UI) and an object-oriented framework (Presentation Engine (PE) framework). The UI exchanges data messages with the framework. The framework is designed to handle two types of messages: (1) from the UI, and (2) from the server (back end) program via the network. The framework includes a component, the mediator which manages messages coming into and going out of the framework. The system includes software for a client computer, a server computer and a network for connecting the client computer to the server computer which utilize an execution framework code segment configured to couple the server computer and the client computer via the network, by a plurality of client computer code segments resident on the server, each for transmission over the network to a client computer to initiate coupling; and a plurality of server computer code segments resident on the server which execute on the server in response to initiation of coupling via the network with a particular client utilizing the transmitted client computer code segment for communicating via a particular communication protocol. A session manager is utilized to manage the initiation of a plurality of network sessions.
