Abstract

A system generates a web page that includes a plurality of embedded data windows. The system receives a request for the web page from a browser and in response generates and displays a frame for the web page on the browser. The frame includes holes for the embedded data windows. The system also receives a data streaming request for each of the embedded data windows and determines if the data streaming requests are thread-safe. For all the data streaming requests that are thread-safe, the system generates a parallel thread to fetch the data for each corresponding data streaming requests. When the data has been fetched for a particular data streaming requests, the data is rendered and streamed to the browser where it is displayed in place of the hole by the browser.

Claims

1. An apparatus that generates a web page, the apparatus comprising:

a requester that receives a web request for the web page from a browser and generates a frame for the web page;

wherein the web page comprises a plurality of embedded data windows, and the requester receives a data streaming request for each of the embedded data windows; and

wherein the requester determines if the data streaming requests are thread-safe, and generates a parallel thread for the thread-safe data streaming requests to fetch corresponding data; and

a render kit coupled to the requester, wherein the render kit comprises at least one renderer, and renders a first fetched data corresponding to a first data streaming request and streams the first rendered data to the browser.

2. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the browser inserts the first rendered data into a first embedded data window.

3. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the render kit renders a second fetched data corresponding to a second data streaming request, and the render kit streams the first rendered data to the browser before the second fetched data is rendered.

4. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the requester generates a serial thread for the data streaming requests that are not thread-safe to fetch corresponding data.

5. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the requester determines if a third data streaming request requires a result of a fourth data streaming request.

6. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the web page frame is adapted to be displayed on the browser and the frame comprises a hole for a first embedded data windows before the first rendered data is streamed.

7. The apparatus of claim 6, wherein the frame is an IFrame.

8. The apparatus of claim 2, wherein the first data streaming request comprises a the browser comprises a JavaServer Faces tag.

9. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the parallel thread comprises a plurality of queries of a database.

10. A method of generating a web page comprising:

receiving a request for the web page from a browser, wherein the web page comprises a plurality of embedded data windows;

generating a frame for the web page;

receiving a data streaming request for each of the embedded data windows;

determining if the data streaming requests are thread-safe

generating a parallel thread for the data streaming requests that are determined to be thread-safe, wherein the parallel thread fetch corresponding data for the data streaming requests;

rendering a first fetched data corresponding to a first data streaming request; and

streaming the first rendered data to the browser.

11. An apparatus comprising:

means for receiving a request for the web page from a browser, wherein the web page comprises a plurality of embedded data windows;

means for generating a frame for the web page;

means for receiving a data streaming request for each of the embedded data windows;

means for determining if the data streaming requests are thread-safe

means for generating a parallel thread for the data streaming requests that are determined to be thread-safe, wherein the parallel thread fetch corresponding data for the data streaming requests;

means for rendering a first fetched data corresponding to a first data streaming request; and

means for streaming the first rendered data to the browser.

12. A computer readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to:

receive a request for the web page from a browser, wherein the web page comprises a plurality of embedded data windows;

generate a frame for the web page;

receive a data streaming request for each of the embedded data windows;

determine if the data streaming requests are thread-safe

generate a parallel thread for the data streaming requests that are determined to be thread-safe, wherein the parallel thread fetch corresponding data for the data streaming requests;

render a first fetched data corresponding to a first data streaming request; and

stream the first rendered data to the browser.
