The present invention describes a new system and method for modeling and dynamically deploying services into a distributed networking architecture, especially in a service-oriented architecture. The service container being part of distributed networking architecture exposes its functionality as services. It provides a registration service for deploying service descriptions. Having created a new service description in any declarative description language (i.e. a description of a (stateful) service e.g. a stateful Web service), the description provider invokes the registration service at the service container that allows to register (i.e. deploy) that new service description during runtime without restarting service container. The service container is responsible to analyze and check the submitted new service description for validity, to store the service description and to make it available for interested services consumers for instantiation. If a new service has been successfully registered, a new service interface for accessing that new service is automatically created by the service container. Interested services consumers may query the hosting environment for the available services being hosted and to subsequently instantiate a new service. A service consumer may then invoke any exposed service operation on a given service instance which generally follows a request response pattern.

An Identity System delivers customized request responses that integrate the results of multiple programs. The Identity System receives and translates a user request. The Identity Systems employs a program service to identify all the programs required to complete the request. The Identity System uses a XML data registry to retrieve a XML template and XSL stylesheet for each program. The Identity System executes all of the programs for the request and organizes their results into a single data structure, based on the templates for each program. The Identity System then applies attribute display characteristics to convert the data structure into a single Output XML. The Output XML can be provided directly to the user or receive further processing using the retrieved XSL stylesheets.

A monitoring system is used to monitor extended business transactions comprised of asynchronous messages. Each message may be a request or a response of an application transaction request-response pair and may be identified with a unique identifier. The unique identifier may be used to identify two or more asynchronous messages, where each extended business transaction may be associated with one or more unique identifiers to identify messages that comprise the business transaction. The extended business transactions are completed over an extended period of time and implemented over several different machines which may or may not be in communication with each other are monitored. Alerts are generated when messages of the extended business transaction do not satisfy a threshold or other criteria, such as a time period for occurring. A user interface or other mechanism may be used to configure the transactions and provide information regarding the status of the transactions and alerts generated for uncompleted portions of the transaction.

There is provided an architecture (system and method) to accelerate web response time and to provide a level platform to meet the interests from both providers and users of content. The concept of user object is introduced to present user interests or disinterests. If a user's browser has already cached a particular provider object, then a corresponding user object indicates that the user is not interested in that object. Otherwise, a user can indicate his / her interests in objects specified either by a set of criteria or explicit description of objects. The web response is accelerated by generalization of the split-proxy architecture of content networking. The user is represented by the user proxy and browser proxy 34. Unlike the traditional content delivery architecture, the content procurement architecture pushes user interests close to the provider sites and minimizes the request-response time between the user proxy and the provider proxy. The request-response sequence is accelerated by pipelining and minimizing all unnecessary stop-and-wait actions.

Various embodiments of message gate pairs are described. A message gate pair may provide a mechanism for communicating requests from clients to services and response from services to clients. A message gate pair may be used to create a secure atomic bi-directional message channel for request-response message passing. The distributed computing environment may employ a message transport in which a message gate exists on both the client and the service. The two gates may work together to provide a secure and reliable message channel. Client and service gates may perform the actual sending and receiving of the messages from the client to the service using a protocol specified in a service advertisement. The message gates may provide a level of abstraction between a client and a service. A client may reference a service through a message gate instead of referencing the service directly. Messages gates may allow clients and services to exchange messages in a secure and reliable fashion over any suitable message transport (e.g. HTTP). For a client, a message gate may represent the authority to use some or all of a service's capabilities. Each capability may be expressed in terms of a message that may be sent to the service. Each such message may be sent through a client message gate that may verify the correctness of the message. The message may be received by a service message gate that may authenticate the message and verify its correctness.

The invention discloses a refusing service attacks protection method, a network system and a proxy server. Through intercepting a connection request packet, the invention obtains the source address of the connection request packet through the analysis and queries the legality of the matching connection request packet. To the connection request packet which cannot determine the legality, an agent objective end responses to the requests of clients, filters out the refusing service attacks and judges the address of the objective end according to the legal connection request response packet. The connection between the agent objective end and the objective end is constructed to realize the refusing service attacks protection. The invention can finish the integrated protection of local and remote servers.
