Abstract
A method, computer program product, and a data processing system for mapping a user to an application in a data processing system network are provided. An application service request from a client is received. The request is directed to a first network address. A user identifier from which the request originated is received. Responsive to receiving the user identifier, a first application version to which the user identifier is associated is identified. The first application version is one of a plurality of application versions. Responsive to identifying the first application version, the request is processed with a second network address that is associated with the first application version.
Claims20
A method of facilitating access of a user to one of a plurality of application versions in a data processing system network, comprising:
- receiving, by a data processing system, an application service request from a client, wherein the request is directed to a first network address;
- receiving, by the data processing system, a user identifier from which the request originated, wherein the user identifier identifies a user of the client;
- responsive to receiving the user identifier, identifying, by the data processing system, a first application version to which the user identifier is associated, wherein the first application version is one of the plurality of application versions;
- and
- responsive to identifying the first application version, processing, by the data processing system, the request with a second network address that is associated with the first application version.
A computer program product in a computer readable medium for mapping a user to an application in a data processing system network, the computer program product comprising:
- first instructions that receive an application service request from a client, wherein the request is directed to a first network address;
- second instructions that identify a user identifier from which the request originated;
- third instructions that, responsive to the second instructions identifying the user identifier, identify a first application version to which the user identifier is associated, wherein the first application version is one of a plurality of application versions;
- and
- fourth instructions that, responsive to the third instructions identifying the first application version, process the request with a second network address that is associated with the first application version.
A data processing system adapted to map a user to an application, comprising:
- a memory that contains a set of instructions that map users to one of a plurality of application versions;
- and
- a processing unit that, responsive to execution of the set of instructions, receives an application service request directed to a first network address, identifies a user identifier from which the request originated, and identifies a first application version to which the user identifier is associated, wherein the first application version is one of the plurality of application versions, and responsive to identifying the first application version, that processes the request with a second network address that is associated with the first application version.
