Patent Images
1. A computer-implemented method for global data synchronization comprising:
- obtaining an initial server interface configuration file describing an initial server interface configuration, said initial server interface configuration comprising declarative definitions of initial data attributes, initial format information, and an initial data pool;
initiating a server interface configured to communicate with said initial data pool by sending and receiving messages conforming to said initial format, wherein said messages comprise said initial data attributes;
accepting a modification of said server interface configuration file;
processing said modification to obtain declarative definitions of modified data attributes, modified format information, and a modified data pool; and
configuring said server interface to communicate with said modified data pool by sending and receiving messages conforming to said modified format, wherein said messages comprise said modified data attributes.

12. A computer system for communicating with a global data synchronization network comprising:
-
a computer-readable memory medium encoded with computer readable instructions configured to execute an application server configured to; obtain a server interface configuration file describing a server interface configuration, wherein said server interface configuration file comprises declarative definitions of data attributes and message formats; cache said declarative definitions of said data attributes and said message formats; communicate with a data pool using a server interface configured to send and receive messages comprising said data attributes and conforming to said message formats by accessing said cached declarative definitions; accept a modification of said server interface configuration file; and update said declarative definitions based on said modification, wherein said messages sent and received by said server interface conform to said modification after said update. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
