Claim 8:
9. A computer program product for accessing a storage device, the computer program product comprising one or more computer readable storage media collectively having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a computer to cause the computer to:
sort 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;
generate 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
access the information in the storage device based on the generated hash key to produce a response to the request.
