Generating and launching remote method invocation servers for individual client applications

Abstract

A method of providing and launching private RMI servers for individual client applications is presented. A user software component such as a Web Accessible GUI is launched for a user. The user logs-in through the user component wherein a single RMI WAG Server process is provided for each client GUI or CLI invoked by the user.

1 . A method for providing a private server for individual client applications comprising: 
 launching a user component;    receiving a client login through the user component;    determining a unique name of the private server after receiving the client login;    accessing the private server for a client through a remote method invocation (RMI) mechanism; and    excluding other clients from accessing the private server,    wherein accessing the private server comprises sending the unique name of the private server to the client and excluding other clients comprises excluding other clients from obtaining the unique name.    
   
   
       2 . The method of  claim 1  wherein launching a user component comprises launching a graphical user interface (GUI).  
   
   
       3 . The method of  claim 1  wherein launching a user component comprises launching a command line interface (CLI).  
   
   
       4 . The method of  claim 1  wherein receiving a client login includes receiving a username.  
   
   
       5 . The method of  claim 4  wherein receiving a client login includes receiving a password associated with the username.  
   
   
       6 . The method of  claim 1  wherein accessing a private server comprises accessing a web accessible graphical user interface (WAG) server.  
   
   
       7 . (canceled)  
   
   
       8 . (canceled)  
   
   
       9 . The method of  claim 8  wherein accessing a component of the backup server system comprises accessing a part of a domain.  
   
   
       10 . A computer program product comprising a computer usable medium having computer readable code thereon, including program code comprising: 
 instructions for launching a user component;    instructions for receiving a client login through the user component;    instructions for determining a unique name of the private server after receiving the client login;    instructions for accessing the private server for a client through a remote method invocation (RMI) mechanism; and    instructions for excluding other clients from accessing the private server,    wherein the instructions for accessing the private server comprises instructions to send the unique name of the private server to the client and the instructions to exclude other clients comprises instructions to exclude other clients from obtaining the unique name.    
   
   
       11 . The computer program product of  claim 10  wherein the instructions for launching a user component comprise instructions for launching a graphical user interface (GUI).  
   
   
       12 . The computer program product of  claim 10  wherein the instructions for launching a user component comprise instructions for launching a command line interface (CLI).  
   
   
       13 . The computer program product of  claim 10  wherein the instructions for receiving a client login include instructions for receiving a username.  
   
   
       14 . The computer program product of  claim 13  wherein the instructions for receiving a client login include instructions for receiving a password associated with the username.  
   
   
       15 . The computer program product of  claim 10  wherein the private server comprises a web accessible graphical user interface (WAG) server.  
   
   
       16 . (canceled)  
   
   
       17 . (canceled)  
   
   
       18 . The computer program product of  claim 17  wherein the WAG server part of a domain.  
   
   
       19 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising, after determining the unique name, notifying the private server of the unique name.  
   
   
       20 . The method of  claim 1  wherein sending the unique name of the private server to the client comprises sending the unique name to the client after determining the unique name.  
   
   
       21 . The method of  claim 1  wherein excluding other clients from obtaining the unique name comprises not sending the unique name to the other clients.  
   
   
       22 . The computer program product of  claim 10 , further comprising instructions for notifying the private server of the unique name after determining the unique name.  
   
   
       23 . The computer program product of  claim 10  wherein instructions for sending the unique name of the private server to the client comprises instructions for sending the unique name to the client after determining the unique name.  
   
   
       24 . The computer program product of  claim 10  wherein instructions to exclude other clients from obtaining the unique name comprises not sending the unique name to the other clients.
