Each portlet can fetch data from the data source and use this data to update the hidden version of the interface control. The hidden version of the control can be updated using the fetched data. After the hidden version is updated, the hidden version can be switched with the presented version. Each portlet can have a portlet refresh rate and the steps of fetching data, updating the hidden version, and switching the hidden version with the presented version can be repeated to satisfy the portlet refresh rate.

Abstract: A method and system for document annotation. A script editor is combined with a document rendering or client display system that allows a user to develop a customizable programmatic annotation script that is thereafter saved and associated with a document. When the document is selected for viewing, the rendering system renders the document and then, using a script language interpreter, runs the annotation script such that a user customizable programmatic annotation is rendered on top of the document. Annotations may include, for example, animation, sounds, or time-delayed effects. Server side annotation scripts may also be implemented thereby allowing management of documents on a document-by-document basis.

The method stores the primitive elements in a random order in a first storage. The method stores references to the primitive elements in a second storage in an order based on locations of the primitive elements in the unstructured document. The method receives instructions to perform a document reconstruction operation. The method performs the received instructions without storing any new references to the primitive elements.

Abstract: Merging data for use in a workflow application may include providing a user interface that facilitates collecting information from a user such as an indication of a first document and a second document that each include multiple records, a selection of a key indicator field common to both documents, and some indication of which of the two documents is a controlling document. Without the need for the user providing programming instructions, the workflow application joins information from both documents by identifying whether any of the records from the non-controlling document has a key indicator value that matches the key value of a select record from the controlling document. Based on this identifying, the workflow application dynamically generates a merged document which it can then use to perform one or more actions.
