Abstract:

A web page is generated by locating an area in a website to place the page and selecting a template for the page. An output cache manager allows a user to attach a cache profile in the form of metadata to the template and the area in the website. The output cache manager uses the metadata to identify the cache profile that is associated with the web page when the page is rendered. The cache profile identifies the page output directive caching parameters that are associated with a web page when the page is rendered. A cache profile may be inherited by web pages that are dependent on the site in which the page resides such that a previously established cache profile is overridden. The cache profile may be created and modified by any authorized user. Any modification to the cache profile may be applied to all web pages that are associated with the cache profile.

Abstract:

Architecture for security trimming results in a document version environment. Versioned documents are stored with metadata that includes associated access rights. All versions are searched using multiple user accounts of varying levels of access that correspond to the document versions. Result sets are returned for each user account and trimmed during a merge process by considering the user rights associated with each of multiple versions of objects or documents. Each document metadata includes a scope ID that defines security rights for that document. In a two-version document (major and minor) implementation, successive queries are run as a user with rights to all minor versions, and as a user with rights to all major items, but not the minor items. The result sets are merged into a final trimmed result set by examining the rights to each item in the versioned sets that align with rights of the current user.

US Classification:

713/202000, 717/124000

Abstract:

Described is a system and method for modifying a user-interface by applying a policy that is defined by an external party. The policy modifies the user-interface based on a user's context within the user-interface and prevents the user from performing certain actions. For example, in a software development environment, the user-interface is a user-interface provided by the software development environment and the certain actions that are prevented include adding inappropriate code to an application being developed in the software development environment. The policy may cause the software development environment to disable a menu that is associated with the inappropriate code. The policy may also modify the software development environment in a manner such that the developer is provided with active guidance if undesirable code is added to the application. The active guidance includes text being displayed that explains a reason for preventing the undesirable code within the application.

International Classification:

G06F 17/30

US Classification:

707001000

Abstract:

An application domain in a front end server processes an object request from a web browser application to determine whether to retrieve the object from a cache on a local disk or from an external database via a back end server. The determination is made by comparing metadata associated with the requested object and object cache settings identified in a configuration file associated with the application domain. The metadata may also identify users who are authorized to access different object versions. An index included in the application domain identifies the objects stored in the cache and the location of the objects on the local disk. When an object is rendered from the database, a determination is made whether to store the object in the cache based on the object cache settings identified in the configuration file. A cache token ensures that the cache remains synchronized with the index.

US Classification:

707732, 707E17014

Abstract:

Both search criteria and a friends list associated with a user are obtained. One or more data items that satisfy the search criteria are identified as search results. An order of the search results is adjusted based at least in part on multiple additional friends lists, each of which is associated with a data item of the one or more data items. Each of the multiple additional friends lists can also be updated to reflect changes in the friends lists made by users associated with the friends lists.
