Client/server connection sharing

摘要

A connection mechanism for providing connections between a client and a server including a connection control block for each connection, at least one client control block, and at least one session control block. Each connection control block identifies a connection and each client control block a client. Each session control block corresponds to a client control block establishes a session between a client and a connection and identifies the session, tile connection, and the server. Each session is established solely through a corresponding session control block and each operation is identified by the corresponding session identification. The connection mechanism includes a stack mechanism for storing at least one operation stack. Each operation stack corresponds to an operation to be executed through the corresponding connection and includes the session identifier and at least one operation request that is to be executed to execute the operation. An operation execution control generates a sequence of remote procedure call requests for each operation call and stores the sequence in a stack. Connection configurations may be specified. The system also includes a server and an authorization mechanism.
