OFFLINE CLIENT REPLAY AND SYNC

Abstract:

An example system and method facilitates operation of a networked software application that communicates with a network resource during periods of intermittent network connectivity and includes determining when a networked software application is offline and when it is online; selectively intercepting one or more request messages from the networked software application addressed to a network resource when the software application is offline, resulting in a store of intercepted request messages; detecting when the networked software application transitions from being offline to being online; and selectively issuing the one or more request messages to the network resource in a sequence in which the one or more request messages were stored in the store of intercepted request messages. In a more specific embodiment, the system is implemented via an offline toolkit for capturing REpresentational State Transfer (REST) calls when the networked software application (client) is offline; then selectively replaying the calls when the client reconnects, i.e., goes online.
