Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method for optimizing server resources through a sessionless mode, the method comprising: providing a session mode on a document server, wherein the session mode is a mode having an interval of document accessibility where server session resources are allocated to the interval of document accessibility and are not accessible to other computing components associated with the document server, wherein the server session resources include at least one member of a group comprising: server session storage resources, server session memory resources and server session power resources; providing a sessionless mode on the document server, wherein the sessionless mode is a mode having an interval of document accessibility where the server session resources for an interval of document accessibility are reallocated to other computing components associated with the document server; receiving a request on the document server for a document located on the document server; determining, by the document server, whether the document is one of: a static document that includes static data that is not linked to external data that requires updating from an external source and a dynamic document that includes dynamic data that is linked to external data; when the document is a dynamic document, opening the dynamic document in the session mode of the document server, wherein the server session resources are allocated to the interval of document accessibility and are not accessible to other computing components associated with the document server; when the document is a static document, opening the static document in the sessionless mode of the document server, wherein the server session resources for the interval of document accessibility are reallocated to other computing components associated with the document server; and when the document is a static document and opened in the sessionless mode: maintaining, on the document server, the sessionless mode of the document server when a document navigation user input is received, and reallocating server session resources for the interval of document accessibility to the static document to cause a session mode of the document server when a user input that prompts a change of a value within the document is received.
