Abstract: In various embodiments, methods, systems, and non-transitory computer-readable media are disclosed that allow developers to place client-side validation rules on user interface components using a desktop integration framework. The validation rules can be tied to translatable resources or model metadata. In one aspect, the validation rules metadata is provided separately from the document to which the validation rules will eventually be tied.

Abstract: In various embodiments, methods, systems, and non-transitory computer-readable media are disclosed that allow developers to place date pickers on columns, rows, and cells using a desktop integration framework. The date picker can be tied to components, forms, or model metadata. In one aspect, date picker metadata is provided separately from the document to which one or more date pickers will eventually be added.

Abstract: In various embodiments, methods, systems, and non-transitory computer-readable media are disclosed that allow developers to dynamically create columns headers using a desktop integration framework. Columns groups can be managed dynamically at runtime based on model-level metadata.

Abstract: In various embodiments, methods, systems, and non-transitory computer-readable media are disclosed that allow developers to place tooltips on components and columns headers using a desktop integration framework. The tooltips can be tied to translatable resources or model metadata. In one aspect, the tool tip metadata is provided separately from the document to which the tool tip will eventually be tied.

Abstract: In various embodiments, methods, systems, and non-transitory computer-readable media are disclosed that allow a desktop integration framework to optimize retrieval of custom string resources from resource bundles hosted by server computer systems. A client computer that uses a document as a user interface to a web-server application hosted by a server-computer system can determine which custom string resources are to be utilized in the document. The client computer system can request only the custom string resources that are determined to be utilized in the document from the server-computer system in a single request thereby optimizing retrieval without requesting entire resource bundles.

Abstract: In various embodiments, methods, systems, and non-transitory computer-readable media are disclosed that allow users to specify runtime customizations of documents developed using a desktop integration framework. Workbook metadata is a set of information that describes how a given workbook is integrated with a particular web application. When a workbook is being published, metadata may be written into a local cache in the published workbook as well as a workbook definition file. Metadata management may be handed by a metadata service allowing updates and customization of published workbooks independently of a local cache in the published workbook and the workbook definition file. A workbook composer enables users to customize the metadata and store the customizations using the metadata manager.

Abstract: In various embodiments, methods, systems, and non-transitory computer-readable media are disclosed that allow developers working within desktop applications to create application-specific documents that integrate with web-based applications. Using a desktop integration framework, a developer can design documents having components that provide user interfaces to data associated with data models of the web-based applications. In one aspect, how a component looks and is configured can be dynamically driven at runtime based on metadata of its underlying data model.

Abstract: In various embodiments, methods, systems, and non-transitory computer-readable media are disclosed that allow developers to provide automatic column resizing in spreadsheet software using a desktop integration framework. The width of a column usually can only be set at or to hard-wired widths or manually adjusted to fit (even with a manually triggered auto adjustment function). This feature adds the ability to control column widths in tables at run time.

Abstract: In various embodiments, methods, systems, and non-transitory computer-readable media are disclosed that allow developers to providing spreadsheets in a desktop integration framework that include error reports for validations. In various embodiments, a modeless error viewer is provided that allows end users to view an errors list for any failed row at the same time as the user corrects these errors.

Abstract: In various embodiments, methods, systems, and non-transitory computer-readable media are disclosed that allow developers to place popup or list pickers as components of a document using a desktop integration framework. The popup or list pickers can be tied to model metadata allowing a pick list to be dynamically generated when the document is rendered. This allows workbook developers to leverage existing Model layer metadata combined with simple workbook configuration to easily create powerful Search and Select user interfaces for choosing values for ADF Table cells.
