`processing said request, said processing being performed by said page server while
`
`said Web server concurrently processes said other requests; and
`
`dynamically generating a Web page in response to said request, said Web page
`
`including data dynamically retrieved from one or more data sources.
`
`2. The computer-implemented method in claim 1 wherein said step of processing said
`
`request includes the step of identifying said one or more data sources from which to retrieve

`
`91. A computer-implemented method for managing a dynamic Web page generation
`
`request to a Web server, said computer-implemented method comprisin~ the steps of:
`
`routing said request from said Web server to a selected page server, said selected page
`
`server receivinR said request and releasing said Web server to process other requests, wherein
`
`said routing step further includes the steps of interceptin~ said request at said Web server,
`
`routing said request from said Web server to a dispatcher, and dispatching said request to said
`
`selected pare server;
`
`processing said request, said processing being performed by said selected page server
`
`while said Web server concurrently processes said other requests; and
`
`dynamically generating a Web page by said selected page server in response to said
`
`request, said Web page including data dynamically retrieved from one or more data sources;
`
`wherein Web page is defined as Web content displavable through a Web browser;
`
`wherein dynamic Web pare is defined as a Web page that is created in response to a
`
`request;
`
`wherein request is defined as a message that asks for a Web page;
`
`wherein other requests is defined as different requests;
`
`wherein dynamically generating is defined as creating in response to a request;
`
`wherein one or more data sources is defined as data repositories including databases,
`
`spreadsheets, and files that store data for inclusion in said Web page;
`
`wherein data dynamically retrieved is defined as data retrieved in response to a
`
`request;
`
`wherein page server is defined as page-generating software that ~enerates a dynamic
`
`Web page;
`
`wherein Web server is defined as software, or a machine havin~ software, that
`
`receives Web page requests and returns Web pages in response to said requests;
`
`wherein said processing being performed by said selected page server while said Web
`
`server concurrently processes said other requests is defined as said processin~ being
`
`performed by said selected page server while said Web server processes said other requests at
`
`the same time;
`
`wherein interceptin~ said request at said Web server is defined as intercepting the
`
`handling of a request at a Web server;
`
`wherein dispatching is defined as:

`
`examining said request to make a selection of which page server should
`
`process said request from among a plurality of page servers that can each generate the Web
`
`page requested by said request;
`
`selecting which page server should process said request based on dynamic
`
`information maintained about page servers, said dynamic information used in selecting which
`
`page server should process said request including at least one of a number of requests being
`
`processed at each of said plurality of servers, whether said plurality of page servers have a
`
`cached copy of the web page associated with said request, whether said plurality of page
`
`servers have a connection cached to a data source havinR information for generating said web
`
`page associated with said request, a load on each of said plurality of page servers, and
`
`resources available to each of said plurality of page servers; and
`
`sending said request to said selected pare server;
`
`wherein releasing said Web server is defined as freeing resources on said Web server
`
`to process other requests.
`
`92. The computer-implemented method in claim 91 wherein said step of processing
`
`said request includes the step of identifying said one or more data sources from which to
`
`retrieve said data.
`
`93. The computer-implemented method in claim 92 wherein said step of dynamically
`
`generating said Web pare includes the step of dynamically retrieving said data from said one
`
`or more data sources.
`
`94. The computer-implemented method in claim 93 wherein said step of processing
`
`said request includes the step of said page server maintaining a connection cache to said one
`
`or more data sources.
`
`95. The computer-implemented method in claim 93 wherein said step of processing
`
`said request includes the step of loRging into said one or more data sources.
