Found out today that another one of my patents came through. This one is for Graceful Load Failover. Basically, if the application tries to load the file and there are components in specified in the file that are not installed on the machine, most applications would just barf. With Graceful Load Failover, even third party custom components can participate in a system that allows the application to simulate the component and complete the load while providing enough information to diagnose the problem. This is one of about 25 patents I have pending right now. :)
Here's the abstract:
"Systems and methodologies that facilitate real time recognition of missing and/or invalid objects in a component based framework, via employing a graceful load fail over engine that can self heal a component based application that has missing or invalid references, to be properly read, validated and executed on a user's machine. Information about the various components installed on a user's machine can be stored to reference a package backed up to a persistence state, and/or dummy objects or stubs can be provided to represent the missing object, and typically assure proper validation and/or execution of loaded object models."
