Patent ID: 7370075

Claim:
A client and server computer system, the system comprising: a network; a client connected with said network; a server connected with said client via said network; a Management Server Client (MSC) connected with said server; an Application Programming Interface (API) for allowing access only to licensed MSC's; a Management Server (MS) connected with said MSC via said API, said MS providing configuration data to said MSC; and a pipeline within said MSC and wherein said MSC uses said pipeline to manage said services provided from said server to said client, said pipeline comprising a plurality of components, said plurality of components comprising a caching component for caching a service from said server; wherein said client sends requests for services from said server to said client; wherein said MSC intercepts said requests for said services from said server to said client; wherein said services are provided to said client via said MSC; wherein upon receiving said configuration data via said API, said MSC manages services provided from said server to said client; wherein said caching component is configured to read a Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) request from said client, to decide which parameters in said SOAP Request from said client would affect a SOAP response from said server, to ignore parameters in said SOAP request from said client that would not affect said SOAP response, and to compare whether said parameters from said client that would effect said SOAP response are equivalent to parameters stored in said caching component.
