Data caching for mobile applications

A computer-based system for caching of data, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory in communication with said processor, said memory storing a plurality of processing instructions that are configured to direct said processor to:
• responsive to a request received at a device from a mobile device for content stored at a data source server:
• compare data in a cache of said device with data stored at said data source server, wherein the cache includes a plurality of partitions, each partition being configured to include information from a plurality of data source servers;
• and
• synchronize one or more partitions of said plurality of partitions with said data source server independently of other partitions of the plurality of partitions, wherein each partition of said one or more partitions contains at least a portion of mobile business object (MBO) metadata of a particular data-requesting mobile device;
• review a caching policy associated with said cache;
• and
• change the caching policy based on the review, comprising:
• assign data in said cache to a coherence window, wherein the coherence window indicates whether the data has expired;
• review said coherence window when said data in said cache is accessed;
• and
• update data in said cache based on said coherence window, comprising:
• update a row in a cache table in said cache;
• update a timestamp associated with said row;
• and
• update a marker identifying the update of the row in the cache table in said cache;
• wherein said device, said mobile device, and said data source server are different devices.

An article of manufacture including a non transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, if executed by a computing device, cause said computing device to perform operations, the operations comprising:

• responsive to a request received at a device from a mobile device for content stored at a data source server:
• comparing data in a cache of said device with data stored at said data source server, wherein the cache includes a plurality of partitions, each partition being configured to include information from a plurality of data source servers;
• and
• synchronizing one or more partitions of said plurality of partitions with said data source server independently of other partitions of the plurality of partitions, wherein each partition of said one or more partitions contains at least a portion of mobile business object (MBO) metadata of a particular data-requesting mobile device;
• reviewing a caching policy associated with said cache;
• and
• changing the caching policy based on the reviewing, comprising:
• assigning data in said cache to a coherence window, wherein the coherence window indicates whether the data has exired;
• reviewing said coherence window when said data in said cache is accessed;
• and
• updating data in said cache based on said coherence window, comprising:
• updating a row in a cache table in said cache;
• updating a timestamp associated with said row;
• and
• updating a marker identifying the updating of the row in the cache table in said cache;
• wherein said device, said mobile device, and said data source server are different devices.
