Caching controls/policies for structured markup objects
First Claim
1. A method executed by a caching-based computer system for defining an object with cache controls using structured markup for controlling a computer-based memory system, comprising:
- specifying cache control attributes;
defining an application including a cache control structure in structured markup, the cache control structure comprising the cache control attributes;
defining the object in the structured markup, wherein the object inherits the cache control structure of the application, and wherein the cache control structure is applied to the object for controlling data to be cached by the object; and
executing the application by the caching-based computer system wherein data of the object is refreshed in a cache of the computer-based memory system according to the cache controls,wherein specifying cache control attributes comprises using structured markup to define an element for each of (a) a time between refresh, (b) a last refresh, and (c) a next refresh, and wherein each of the elements (a) through (c) is provided with a default value.

Abstract
We provide exemplary systems and methods using structured markup to define objects with cache controls. Examples of structure markup include Extensible Markup Language (“XML”) and Standard Generalized Markup Language (“SGML”). A cache control structure (i.e., the XML-schema) can be added to a variety of levels or layers of granularity in the object. XML data binding, which is the process of converting XML-schema to native object code, may provide an application access to the cache controls of an object. The XML-schema may be accessed using a Uniform Resource Locator (“URL”), for example, for convenient remote access.

1. A method executed by a caching-based computer system for defining an object with cache controls using structured markup for controlling a computer-based memory system, comprising:
-
specifying cache control attributes; defining an application including a cache control structure in structured markup, the cache control structure comprising the cache control attributes; defining the object in the structured markup, wherein the object inherits the cache control structure of the application, and wherein the cache control structure is applied to the object for controlling data to be cached by the object; and executing the application by the caching-based computer system wherein data of the object is refreshed in a cache of the computer-based memory system according to the cache controls, wherein specifying cache control attributes comprises using structured markup to define an element for each of (a) a time between refresh, (b) a last refresh, and (c) a next refresh, and wherein each of the elements (a) through (c) is provided with a default value. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A program storage device readable by machine, tangibly embodying a program of instructions executable by the machine to perform a method for defining an object with cache controls using structured markup, the method comprising:
-
specifying cache control attributes; defining an application including a cache control structure in structured markup, the cache control structure comprising the cache control attributes; defining the object in the structured markup, wherein one or more elements of the object selectively inherit the cache control structure of the application, and wherein the cache control structure is applied to the object for controlling data to be cached by the object; and executing the application wherein data of the object is refreshed according to the cache controls, wherein specifying cache control attributes comprises using structured markup to define an element for each of (a) a time between refresh, (b) a last refresh, and (c) a next refresh, and wherein each of the elements (a) through (c) is provided with a default value.
