Abstract
Various systems and methods are provided for maintaining an embedded network server. In one embodiment, one method includes the steps of providing a dynamic service loader in the embedded network server, receiving a service request to install a dynamic service in the embedded network server, and installing the dynamic service in the embedded network server with the dynamic service loader. The dynamic service may be installed in the embedded network server dynamically, thereby allowing other aspects of the embedded network server to operate without disruption.
Claims24
A method for maintaining an embedded network server, comprising:
- providing a dynamic service loader in the embedded network server;
- receiving a service request to install a dynamic service in the embedded network server;
- and
- installing the dynamic service in the embedded network server with the dynamic service loader.
A program embodied in a computer readable medium for network server maintenance, comprising:
- a dynamic service loader;
- and
- code that initiates the dynamic service loader to install a dynamic service in the embedded network server in response to a service request to install the dynamic service in the embedded network server.
A network server system, comprising:
- a processor circuit having a processor and a memory;
- and
- an embedded network server stored in the memory and executable by the processor, the embedded network server comprising:
- a network core including a dynamic engine loader;
- a dynamic service loader;
- logic that initiates the dynamic service loader to install a dynamic service in the embedded network server in response to a service request to install the dynamic service in the embedded network server;
- and
- logic that initiates the dynamic engine loader to install a dynamic engine in the embedded network server in response to an engine request to install the dynamic engine in the embedded network server, wherein the dynamic engine provides an interface between the dynamic service and a server core of the embedded network server.
A network server system, comprising:
- an embedded network server having a server core;
- means in the embedded network server for downloading and installing a dynamic engine in the embedded network server in response to an engine request;
- and
- means in the embedded network server for downloading and installing a dynamic service in the embedded network server in response to a service request.
