Abstract
The present invention liberates service provider architecture by allowing the primary logic component that manages the live data to be autonomous from the client interactive logic components. The client interactive logic components have reference data and single user writable data and are charged with interacting with the client and with forming request that will be recognized by the primary logic component. However, unlike the conventional architecture, requests submitted from the client interactive logic components are not trusted by the primary logic component. Instead, information within the request is validated for accuracy before the request is honored. The service provider also assists in handling requests based on stale data by the client interactive logic component generating formal requests that are commutative and business service oriented, and by the primary logic component having policies that recognize the existence of stale data.
