Abstract
A system and method for facilitating remote access of an application available via a stateless protocol is provided. Such applications are typically accessed via the World Wide Web portion of the Internet (the “Web”) using a browser application and an HTTP protocol. The system can include one or more components for caching data associated with the remote access, the data comprising state and/or user specific information. The state and/or user specific information can be stored in a user context object (UCO). One or more user context objects can be managed by a user context manager that facilitates locating user context objects and reclaiming memory associated with user context objects that are no longer necessary to support remote access of the application accessed via a stateless protocol.
