Application server facilitating with client's computer for applets along with various formats
DC
First Claim
1. A method operating on a computer system for managing requests to a server computer for applets in a client server environment wherein each request for an applet specifies one form of the applet out of a plurality forms of the applet, comprising:
- a) receiving on said server computer a request from a client computer for an applet in a form selected from a plurality forms;
b) compiling said applet into said selected form from a local resource comprising at least one source module and one compiler which acts on said source module to produce said selected form; and
c) transmitting said applet in said selected form to said client computer.

Abstract
The present invention is an applet server which accepts requests for applets from client computers. A request specifies the format in which an applet is to be delivered to the requesting client computer. The applet server has a cache which it uses to store applets for distribution to client computers. If the specified form of the requested applet is available in the cache, the applet server transmits the applet to the requesting client. If the applet is not available in the cache, the server will attempt to build the applet from local resources (program code modules and compilers) and transformer programs (verifiers and optimizers). If the applet server is able to build the requested applet, it will then transmit the applet to the requesting client computer. If the applet server is unable to build the requested applet, it will pass the request to another applet server on the network for fulfillment of the request.

5. A method operating on a computer system for managing requests to a server computer for applets in a client server environment wherein each request for an applet specifies one form of said applet out of a plurality of forms of said applet, comprising:
-
a) receiving on said server computer a request from a client computer for an applet in a specified form selected from a plurality of forms;
b) determining whether said applet is stored in said specified form in a local cache and, if so, transmitting said applet in said specified form to said client computer;
c) if said applet is not stored in said selected form in said local cache, compiling said applet into said selected form from a local resource comprising at least one source module and one compiler which acts on said source module to produce said selected form and transmitting said applet in said selected form to said client computer. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8)
