System and method for data transfer of object properties

Abstract

A system, method, and computer readable medium. A method includes monitoring calls from a client system to a server system for properties associated with an object, each call having a context. The method includes storing call data related to the calls as a property-retrieval history, including storing the context of each call. The method includes analyzing a policy associated with at least one context based on the property-retrieval history. The method includes updating the policy associated with the at least one context based on the analysis, and transferring data corresponding to the at least one context based on the policy.

What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A method for data transfer, the method performed by a data processing system and comprising:
 monitoring calls from a client system to a server system for properties associated with an object, each call having a context; 
 storing call data related to the calls as a property-retrieval history, including storing the context of each call; 
 analyzing a policy associated with at least one context based on the property-retrieval history; 
 updating the policy associated with the at least one context based on the analysis; and 
 transferring data corresponding to the at least one context based on the policy. 
 
     
     
       2. The method of  claim 1 , wherein updating the policy includes defining default properties to be returned in response to a call based on the context of the call. 
     
     
       3. The method of  claim 1 , further comprising defining initial policies corresponding to each context. 
     
     
       4. The method of  claim 1 , wherein each context includes at least one of a user identifier, a user role, and an application that is making the call for that context. 
     
     
       5. The method of  claim 1 , wherein monitoring calls includes receiving the calls by a server system. 
     
     
       6. The method of  claim 1 , wherein the calls are also calls for an object. 
     
     
       7. The method of  claim 1 , wherein the call data also includes an object type and the properties associated with each call. 
     
     
       8. The method of  claim 1 , wherein the analysis is performed at a configurable trigger point. 
     
     
       9. The method of  claim 8 , wherein the trigger point is a configurable number of property calls. 
     
     
       10. A data processing system comprising:
 a processor; and 
 an accessible memory, wherein the data processing system is particularly configured to monitor calls from a client system to a server system for properties associated with an object, each call having a context; 
 store call data related to the calls as a property-retrieval history, including storing the context of each call; 
 analyze a policy associated with at least one context based on the property-retrieval history; 
 update the policy associated with the at least one context based on the analysis; and 
 transfer data corresponding to the at least one context based on the policy. 
 
     
     
       11. The data processing system of  claim 10 , wherein updating the policy includes defining default properties to be returned in response to a call based on the context of the call. 
     
     
       12. The data processing system of  claim 10 , further comprising defining initial policies corresponding to each context. 
     
     
       13. The data processing system of  claim 10 , wherein each context includes at least one of a user identifier, a user role, and an application that is making the call for that context. 
     
     
       14. The data processing system of  claim 10 , wherein monitoring calls includes receiving the calls by a server system. 
     
     
       15. The data processing system of  claim 10 , wherein the calls are also calls for an object. 
     
     
       16. The data processing system of  claim 10 , wherein the call data also includes an object type and the properties associated with each call. 
     
     
       17. The data processing system of  claim 10 , wherein the analysis is performed at a configurable trigger point. 
     
     
       18. The data processing system of  claim 17 , wherein the trigger point is a configurable number of property calls. 
     
     
       19. A non-transitory computer-readable medium encoded with computer-executable instructions that, when executed, cause a data processing system to perform the steps of:
 monitoring calls from a client system to a server system for properties associated with an object, each call having a context; 
 storing call data related to the calls as a property-retrieval history, including storing the context of each call; 
 analyzing a policy associated with at least one context based on the property-retrieval history; 
 updating the policy associated with the at least one context based on the analysis; and 
 transferring data corresponding to the at least one context based on the policy. 
 
     
     
       20. The computer-readable medium of  claim 19 , wherein updating the policy includes defining default properties to be returned in response to a call based on the context of the call.
