System and method for managing states and user context over stateless protocols

A computer implemented method that facilitates remote access to an application, the access occurring across a stateless protocol, comprising:

• allocating memory to cache at least one of state information or user specific information associated with the remote access;
• caching the state information associated with the remote access of the application in the allocated memory;
• caching the user specific information associated with the remote access of the application in the allocated memory;
• and
• selectively reclaiming the memory allocated to cache the at least one of state and user specific information associated with the remote access, the reclaiming occurring upon the allocated memory not being accessed within a pre-determined period of time, the pre-determined period of time being dynamically changed based, at least in part, on feedback concerning the allocation of memory.

A system for managing information in an application accessed via a stateless protocol, comprising:

• means for allocating memory to store at least one of state information or user specific information associated with a remote user access of an application, the application being accessed via a stateless protocol;
• means for caching, in the allocated memory, state information associated with the remote access of the application;
• means for caching, in the allocated memory, user specific information associated with a remote accessor of the application;
• means for locating the at least one of state information or user specific information cached in the allocated memory;
• and
• means for reclaiming the allocated memory when the memory has not been accessed within a pre-determined period of time, the pre-determined period of time being dynamically changed based, at least in part, on feedback concerning the allocation of memory.
