Abstract

A method of directly administering a service component through a hypermedia document can include a series of steps. The hypermedia document can provide an interface to a service logic execution environment (SLEE). At least one administrative option embodied in the hypermedia document can be provided. The at least one administrative option can correspond to a function to be performed by the service component. A user specified administrative option can be received in the hypermedia document and a SLEE compatible event can be generated based on the user specified administrative option. The event can be a type which the service component has been registered in the SLEE to receive. Also, the event can be routed to the service component via the SLEE. The service component can process the event and perform an administrative function consistent with the event.

Dependent claims

A method of remotely administering a service component comprising:

identifying at least one service logic execution environment (SLEE) service component configured to perform at least one administrative function responsive to an occurrence of corresponding event which said service component has been registered in a SLEE to receive, said at least one administrative function comprising at least one function selected from a group consisting of detecting administrative information of the service component and posting a message containing the administrative information to an event handling component of the SLEE, re-loading the service component within the SLEE, unloading the service component within the SLEE, halting execution of an existing service executing within the service component, and resuming execution of a previously halted service executing within the service component;
providing at least one administrative option included in a hypermedia document, each provided administrative option corresponding to at least one of said administrative functions;
receiving a user specified administrative option in said hypermedia document;
generating a SLEE compatible event based on said user specified administrative option, said generated event being one of said corresponding events;
routing said event to said service component via said event handling component of the SLEE;
and
said service component processing said event and responsively performing said administrative function consistent with said event.

4 more elements

A method of remotely administering a service component through a hypermedia document comprising:

registering a service logic execution environment (SLEE) service component with a SLEE to receive particular SLEE compatible events generated by said hypermedia document and posted to an event handler in said SLEE, wherein each of the SLEE compatible events for which the service component registers correspond to at least one administrative function of the service component, said at least one administrative function comprising at least one function selected from a group consisting of detecting administrative information of the service component and posting a message containing the administrative information to an event handling component of the SLEE, re-loading the service component within the SLEE, unloading the service component within the SLEE, halting execution of an existing service executing within the service component, and resuming execution of a previously halted service executing within the service component;
receiving an event posted in said SLEE, wherein said received event is one of said particular SLEE compatible events;
and
said service component performing said administrative function consistent with said received event.

A machine readable storage, having stored thereon a computer program having a plurality of code sections executable by a machine for causing the machine to perform the steps of:

identifying at least one service logic execution environment (SLEE) service component configured to perform at least one administrative function responsive to an occurrence of corresponding event which said service component has been registered in a SLEE to receive, said at least one administrative function comprising at least one function selected from group consisting of detecting administrative information of the service component and posting a message containing the administrative information to an event handling component of the SLEE, re-loading the service component within the SLEE, unloading the service component within the SLEE, halting execution of an existing service executing within the service component, and resuming execution of a previously halted service executing within the service component;
providing at least one administrative option included in a hypermedia document, each provided administrative option corresponding to at least one of said administrative functions;
receiving a user specified administrative option in said hypermedia document;
generating a SLEE compatible event based on said user specified administrative option, said generated event being one of said corresponding events;
routing said event to said service component via said event handling component of the SLEE;
and
said service component processing said event and responsively performing said administrative function consistent with said event.

receiving an event posted in said SLEE, wherein said received event is one of said particular SLEE compatible events;
and
said service component performing said administrative function consistent with said received event.
