Abstract

A system, method and a computer usable medium tangibly embodying a program of instructions executable by the computer to perform a computer-based method for providing a conflict detection and resolution in a mid-tier server of a multi-tier client-server communication system which performs message synchronization in a client/mid-tier environment and replication in a mid-tier/server environment. The method defines a client/mid-tier conflict resolution look-up table listing all possible conflict states in the client/mid-tier environment and corresponding action rules, and a mid-tier/server conflict resolution look-up table listing all possible conflict states in the mid-tier/server environment and corresponding action rules. For any detected conflict state the method finds and executes the corresponding action rule.
