System and method for processing web service transactions using timestamp data

摘要

A system is provided that is adapted to service web-based service requests. In one implementation, a caching service is provided for storing and servicing web service requests. In one implementation, virtual computer systems may be used to service requests in a more reliable manner. Different operating modes may be configured for backup redundancy and the caching service may be scaled to meet service requests for a particular application. Also, methods are provided for exchanging timestamp information among web service transaction systems to reduce the amount of processing capability and bandwidth for ensuring database consistency.

1. A system for processing web service transactions, the system comprising:
a plurality of servers, each server comprising a processor adapted to receive and process one or more web service requests, and a memory to store a plurality of timestamps, the plurality of servers comprising:
a first and a second server, each configured to compare a timestamp of the first server and a timestamp of the second server in order to determine if a database record has expired;wherein the database record is store in a logical storage coupled to the first server, and wherein the timestamp of the first server and the timestamp of the second server are both associated with the database record; andwherein the first server deletes the database record if it is determined that the timestamp of the first server, and the timestamp of the second server, have both expired.
