Abstract
An application server is disclosed for communicating with a plurality of clients. The application server executes code segments stored on a computer readable storage medium, such as on a disk storage medium, FLASH memory, etc. The application server initiates a Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) object for processing a request received from one of the clients, wherein the request comprises input data. The application server invokes an asynchronous function with the TCP/IP object as an input parameter to process the request, and when the asynchronous function is finished processing the request, returns output data to the client.
Claims27
An application server for communicating with a plurality of clients, the application server operable to execute code segments stored on a computer readable storage medium, the code segments operable to:
- initiate a Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) object for processing a request received from one of the clients, wherein the request comprises input data;
- and
- invoke an asynchronous function with the TCP/IP object as an input parameter.
A method of communicating information between an application server and a plurality of clients, the method comprising:
- the application server initiating a Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) object for processing a request received from one of the clients, wherein the request comprises input data;
- and
- the application server invoking an asynchronous function with the TCP/IP object as an input parameter.
