Abstract
Embodiments provide mechanisms and methods for providing disconnectible applications capable of executing at least semi-autonomously, i.e., without needing constant contact with a server, on a client substantially independent of server connectivity. The ability of a disconnectible application to execute on a client substantially independent of server connectivity can enable enhanced flexibility in organizing applications to build data processing systems.
Claims27
A method for operating an application on a client, the method comprising:
- deploying the application on the client;
- and
- operating the application so that the application executes substantially independent of constant server connectivity.
A machine readable medium, having code for operating an application on a client stored thereon, that when executed by a processor is configured to cause a system to:
- deploying the application on the client;
- and
- operating the application so that the application executes substantially independent of constant server connectivity.
A client apparatus, comprising:
- a processor;
- a machine readable storage connected to the processor and storing instructions, which when executed by the processor case the client to perform the steps of:
- deploying the application on the client;
- and
- operating the application so that the application executes substantially independent of constant server connectivity.
A method for operating a disconnectible application, the method comprising:
- storing the disconnectible application on a client, the disconnectible application configured to run without ongoing contact with a server;
- receiving a message from the disconnectible application, the message configured to be transmitted to the server;
- and
- transmitting the message to the server in an asynchronous message transmission, wherein the asynchronous message transmission is transmitted independently of an associated server response.
