Claim 0:
1. A computer-implemented method, in a data processing system comprising at least one processor and at least one memory, the at least one memory comprising instructions executed by the at least one processor to cause the at least one processor to access a storage device, the method comprising:
sorting contents of an object of a request, wherein the contents comprise a plurality of attribute-value pairs, wherein an attribute or value for at least one of the plurality of attribute-value pairs includes an extended character that remains as the extended character during the sorting, and wherein the sorting is performed using a Unicode Collation Algorithm;
generating a hash key to access information in the storage device based on the sorted contents of the object, wherein the object is mapped to the same hash key as a prior request with an object having the contents in a different arrangement, wherein generating the hash key further comprises generating a string comprising a name of the particular service requested and the sorted contents of the object, wherein the particular service processes the sorted contents of the object of the request to calculate a response to the request in response to determining that the response to the request was not previously calculated; and
accessing the information in the storage device based on the generated hash key to produce a response to the request.
