Reducing messaging in a client-server system

A method for providing a client system with access to a property of an object associated with a server comprising:

• detecting, by at least one processor, that a client-server system that is operating in a first state mode has switched from a first use case to a second use case, wherein operating the client-server system in the first state mode for the first use case reduces messaging in the client-server system as compared to operating the client-server system in a second state mode for the first use case;
• determining, by the at least one processor, that operating the client-server system in the second state mode for the second use case would reduce messing in the system as compared to operating the client-server system in the first state mode for the second use case;
• and
• determining that the first state mode is stateless and the second state mode is stateful, the second use case is selected from a group consisting of an at-least-one-reader-with-no-writers-use case, and a single-writer-with-no-readers-use-case;
• and
• transitioning the client-server system from the first state mode that is stateless to the second state mode that is stateful in response to the use-case-to-state-mode-analyzer determining that the second use case is selected from the group consisting of the at-least-one-reader-with-no-writers-use case, and the single-writer-with-no-readers-use-case.

An apparatus for providing a client system with access to a property of an object associated with a server, the apparatus comprising:

• a memory storing data defining a first use case and a second use case;
• a processor having access to the memory;
• and
• one or more code modules each comprising computer-readable code operative, when executed, to cause the processor to implement:
• a use-case-detector configured to detect that a client-server system that is operating in a first state mode has transitioned from the first use case to the second use case, wherein operating in the first state mode for the first use case reduces messaging in the client-server system as compared to operating the client-server system in a second state mode for the first use case;
• a use-case-to-state-mode-analyzer configured to determine that operating the client-server system in the second state mode for the second use case would reduce messaging in the system as compared to operating the client-server system in the first state mode for the second use case, the use-case-to-state-mode analyzer is further configured to determine that the first state mode is stateful and the second state mode is stateless, the second use case being selected from a group consisting of a single-writer-with-at-least-one reader-use case, and a plurality of writers-with-zero-or-more-readers-use-case;
• and
• a state-mode-transitioner configured to transition the client-server system from the first state mode that is stateful to the second state mode that is stateless in response to the use-case-to-state-mode-analyzer determining that the second use case is selected from the group consisting of the single-writer-with-at-least-one reader-use case, and the plurality of writers-with-zero-or-more-readers-use-case.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing computer-executable instructions that are operable when executed by a computer system to:

• detect that a client-server system that is operating in a first state mode has switched from a first use case to a second use case, wherein operating the client-server system in the first state mode for the first use case reduces messaging in the client -server system as compared to operating the client-server system in a second state mode for the first use case;
• determine that operating the client-server system in the second state mode for the second use case would reduce messing in the system as compared to operating the client-server system in the first state mode for the second use case;
• and
• determine that the first state mode is stateful and the second state mode is stateless, the second use case being selected from a group consisting of a single-writer-with-at-least-one reader-use case, and a plurality of writers-with-zero-or-more-readers-use-case;
