Abstract

Methods and systems for redirection of requests received by a service or an API are provided. According to one embodiment, a request, relating to a domain or a focal point of related data (e.g., an OData entity), is received from a client by a service (e.g., an OData service) operable to serve data from a data source or an in-memory cache. When the request involves manipulation of a portion of the data, automatic updating of values of the data that are dependent thereon is facilitated by directing fulfilment of the request to the cache; otherwise: it is determined whether to fulfill the request based on the in-memory cache. When the determination is affirmative, then the portion of the data is retrieved from the in-memory cache. When the determination is negative, then the portion of the data is retrieved from the data source.

Dependent claims

A method performed by a processing resource of a computer system, the method comprising:

receiving, by a service that is operable to serve data from a data source to which it has been persisted or from an in-memory cache, a request relating to a domain or a focal point of related data from a client;
when the request involves manipulation of a portion of the data associated with the domain or the focal point of related data, facilitating automatic updating of one or more values of the data that are dependent thereon by directing fulfilment of the request to the in-memory cache;
and
when the request does not involve manipulation of the portion of the data associated with the domain or the focal point of related data:
determining whether to fulfill the request based on the in-memory cache;
when said determining is affirmative, then retrieving the portion of the data associated with the domain or the focal point of related data from the in-memory cache;
and
when said determining is negative, then retrieving the portion of the data associated with the domain or a focal point of related data from the data source.

5 more elements

A system comprising:

a processing resource;
and
a non-transitory computer-readable medium, coupled to the processing resource, having stored therein instructions that when executed by the processing resource cause the processing resource to perform a method comprising:
receiving, by a web service that supports the Open Data Protocol (OData) protocol and is operable to serve data from a data source to which it has been persisted or from an in-memory cache, a request relating to an entity from an OData client;
when the request involves manipulation of a portion of the data associated with the entity, facilitating automatic updating of one or more values of the data that are dependent thereon by directing fulfilment of the request to the in-memory cache;
and
when the request does not involve manipulation of the portion of the data associated with the entity:
determining whether to fulfill the request based on the in-memory cache;
when said determining is affirmative, then retrieving the portion of the data associated with entity from the in-memory cache;
and
when said determining is negative, then retrieving the portion of the data associated with the entity from the data source.

8 more elements

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium embodying a set of instructions, which when executed by a processing resource cause the processing resource to perform a method comprising:

receiving, by a web service that supports the Open Data Protocol (OData) protocol and is operable to serve data from a data source to which it has been persisted or from an in-memory cache, a request relating to an entity from an OData client;
when the request involves manipulation of a portion of the data associated with the entity, facilitating automatic updating of one or more values of the data that are dependent thereon by directing fulfilment of the request to the in-memory cache;
and
when the request does not involve manipulation of the portion of the data associated with the entity:
determining whether to fulfill the request based on the in-memory cache;
when said determining is affirmative, then retrieving the portion of the data associated with entity from the in-memory cache;
and
when said determining is negative, then retrieving the portion of the data associated with the entity from the data source.
