Abstract
An embodiment of the present invention provides a process and system for restricting access to a method in a distributed computing environment. An embodiment of the invention includes maintaining a list of methods in the distributed commuting environment. Further, the process and system restrict access to a method in the distributed computing environment by generating a key that specifies that the method is blocked and deleting the key when the method is not blocked. An exemplary embodiment includes capability to perform configuration of the system.
Claims45
A process for restricting access to a method in a distributed computing environment, the process comprising the steps of:
- (a) maintaining a list of methods in the distributed commuting environment;
- (b) restricting access to a method in the list of methods in the distributed computing environment by generating a key which specifies that the method is blocked;
- and
- (c) deleting the key when the method is not blocked.
A process for restricting access to a method in a distributed computing environment, the process comprising the steps of:
- (a) maintaining a list of methods in the distributed commuting environment;
- (b) blocking at least one subscriber component of access to least one method in the list of methods in the distributed computing environment by generating a key associated with the at least one method which specifies that the at least one method is blocked from being accessed by the at least one subscriber component;
- and
- (c) monitoring a duration parameter of the associated key to determine when to modify the associated key so as to provide access to the method to the at least one subscriber component.
A system for restricting access to a method in a distributed computing environment, the system comprising:
- (a) a method control which manages access to the method by at least one subscriber component in the distributed computing environment;
- and
- (b) at least one dynamic method container to hold information relating to the method and the at least one subscriber component, and to further include a key relating to access of the method by the at least one subscriber component,
- wherein the method control retrieves the key relating to access of the method from the at least one dynamic method container to determine whether to provide access to the method to an application requesting access to the method.
A system for restricting access to a method in a distributed computing environment, the process comprising:
- (a) means for maintaining a list of methods in the distributed commuting environment;
- (b) means for restricting access to a method in the list of methods in the distributed computing environment by generating a key which specifies that the method is blocked;
- and
- (c) means for deleting the key when the method is not blocked.
