A system and method for searching for documents within spaces in a distributed computing environment are provided. A client sends a lookup message to a space which stores documents. The lookup message may specify desired characteristics, such as a name or partial XML schema, of the stored documents. The documents may include XML service advertisements and XML device advertisements as well as general-purpose XML documents. A set of zero or more documents which match the lookup message are discovered. In one embodiment, the lookup message may include a desired name. If the lookup message includes both a desired name and a desired schema, the set of discovered documents may include both discovered documents having a name that matches the desired name and discovered documents having a schema that matches the desired schema. If the lookup message includes neither a desired name nor a desired schema, the set of discovered documents may include substantially all the documents stored in the space. After the matching documents are found, the space may send a lookup response message to the client. For each discovered document, the lookup response message may include a name and an advertisement. Each advertisement may include information which is usable by the client to obtain the respective discovered document or access the resource (e.g., a service) that the document advertises. The advertisements and messages may be expressed in a data representation language such as XML.

A service discovery protocol may allow clients in a distributed computing environment to search for services using flexible search criteria. A client may send a search message that may be formatted in a data representational language and may include search criteria. The search criteria may specify a service name or a service type or both a service name and a service type. The search criteria may be compared to advertisements for services within the distributed computing environment to find advertisements that match the search criteria. An advertisement may be a document in the data representation language that provides access information for a corresponding service. The client may receive one or more search response messages indicating one or more advertisements that match the search criteria. The client may obtain and advertisement for a located service and may use the advertisement to construct a message gate to communicate with the service according to messages defined by the advertisement.

Embodiments of event message endpoints in a distributed computing environment are described. A set of event messages that may be generated by a service in the distributed computing environment may be described in a data representation language event message schema for the service. For each event message in the schema, the endpoint may subscribe as a consumer of the event. A service may send a message including a data representation language representation of the event to each event message endpoint subscribed to the event. The event message endpoint may extract the representation of the event from the message and distribute it to clients with registered interest in the event type. The event message endpoint may type check the event message and/or the representation of the event against the message schema. Event messages endpoints may also authenticate the sender of the message and verify the integrity of message.

A data representation language representation of the state of a process executing on a client or service in a distributed computing environment may be created. The representation may include a computation state of the device and/or virtual machine on which the process is executing, wherein the computation state of the device and/or virtual machine comprises information about the execution state of the process on the device and/or virtual machine. A process state may include, but is not limited to: threads, all objects referenced by the threads, transient variables created during the execution of the process, objects and their data, etc. In one embodiment, data describing one or more leases representing grants of access to external services, obtained from spaces by the process, may also be stored with the process state. The data representation language representation of the state of a process may be moved from node to node within the distributed computing environment. The representation of the state of a process may also be stored as a data representation language object in a store mechanism, and later retrieved from the store mechanism to resume the process execution on the same node or on a different node in the distributed computing environment. In one embodiment, an object compilation/decompilation process may be used in creating the representation of the state of a process and in regenerating the state of the process by decompiling the representation of the state of the process.

A method, device, chip, computer program, and system that handle presentation language messages including dividing the message into simple and complex sections. The system includes a terminal and a base station. As such, presentation language messages can be viewed by simple presentation devices while allowing the simple presentation devices to forward the presentation language message without losing complex sections that may be viewable to more complex devices to which the message is forwarded from the simple presentation device.

An application's XML parser requiring XML files conforming to a very simple DTD requires a user to create a verbose and very redundant XML input file. The verbose XML file is usually prone to errors if created by a novice user, or an entity not involved in the initial creation of the application and its parser. Thus, the present invention creates an input XML file conforming to the simple DTD from a grammar rich XML file provided by the user. The grammar rich XML file requires a complex DTD for transformation. The complex DTD may also be prone to error if created by the user, therefore, the complex DTD file is automatically created from a schema definition provided by the user, or an agency of the user. The user or an agent of the user defines a schema for the desired grammar level, and then through a series of XSL transformations, the complex DTD file is created. Also, a stylesheet used for transforming the user's grammar rich XML file is automatically created. The grammar rich XML file provided by the user conforms to the automatically created complex DTD file. Thus, the grammar used in defining the user interface to an application is extensible without any requirement to enrich and recompile the application's XML parser.
