ABSTRACT:
Cache updates are made asynchronously between a client and a server in a client server system while the integrity of objects is being maintained, thus avoiding blocked processing at the client, reducing load on communication lines, and enhancing the performance of the whole system. The client, after it has updated an object in its cache, sends the ID and contents of the updated object to the server. Then, the client sets the version of its object to 0, and starts other processing without waiting completion of the update in server. Upon receiving a update request from the client, the server places an update lock on the object and update the object in server cache. Then, the server returns no response to this operation. When the transaction is committed, the server uses the updated contents to update its own disk and sends the version at the server to the client.
