Abstract:
1. A method in an application server for initiating inter-process communication between non-persistent application sessions, the method comprising: initiating a first application instance for establishment of an application session between the application server and a first party; determining whether a second party is available to receive a message having been established in the application session between the application server and the first party; and based on the determined availability of the second party, generating a HTML page, originating in the first application instance, having instructions for a browser, in use by the second party, to notify the second party of a new application session for the second party so as to present the message to the second party, wherein the generating step includes inserting a uniform resource locator (URL) within the HTML page causing the browser to request interruption of a present application session of the second party, established by another application instance distinct from the first application instance, to create the new application session for the second party.
