Abstract
A method for packaging an object graph including receiving a usage variable specification that includes a set of usages each usage specifying an attribute of an object in the object graph, creating a transient object graph representation containing the attribute specified in the variable usage specification, and packaging the transient object graph representation.
Claims24
A method for packaging an object graph, comprising:
- receiving a usage variable specification that includes a set of usages each usage specifying an attribute of an object in the object graph;
- creating a transient object graph representation containing the attribute specified in the variable usage specification;
- and
- packaging the transient object graph representation.
A method for packaging an object graph, comprising:
- receiving a usage variable specification that includes a set of usages each usage specifying an attribute of an object in the object graph;
- creating a transient object graph representation containing the attribute specified in the variable usage specification;
- packaging the transient object graph representation;
- and
- converting the transient object graph representation into a form suitable for transport over a network link.
A method for packaging an object graph, comprising:
- receiving a usage variable specification that includes a set of usages each usage specifying an attribute of an object in the object graph;
- creating a transient object graph representation containing the attribute specified in the variable usage specification;
- packaging the transient object graph representation;
- and
- converting the transient object graph representation into a form suitable for storage on a storage medium.
A transport packager, comprising:
- means for receiving a usage variable specification that includes a set of usages each usage specifying an attribute of an object in the object graph;
- means for creating a transient object graph representation containing the attribute specified in the variable usage specification;
- and
- means for packaging the transient object graph representation.
A computer-readable medium having recorded thereon instructions executable by a processor, the instructions for:
- receiving a usage variable specification that includes a set of usages each usage specifying an attribute of an object in the object graph;
- creating a transient object graph representation containing the attribute specified in the variable usage specification;
- and
- packaging the transient object graph representation.
A computer-readable medium having recorded thereon instructions executable by a processor, the instructions for:
- receiving a usage variable specification that includes a set of usages each usage specifying an attribute of an object in the object graph;
- creating a transient object graph representation containing the attribute specified in the variable usage specification;
- packaging the transient object graph representation;
- and
- instructions for converting each trimmed object into a form suitable for transport over a network link.

A distributed system having a client and a server, comprising:
- an object generator interposed between the client and the server, the object generator having a capability to trim an object graph such that the trimmed object graph contains only the attributes specified in a variable usage specification;
- and
- means for converting the transient object graph representation into a form suitable for transport over a network link between the client and the server.
