Abstract: Provides methods and apparatus that can reduce the time required for processing, when generating a dynamic content using JSP or the like. An example device for generating a dynamic content creation program internally handles text by expressing the text in a predetermined general character encoding format. The device generates a dynamic content creation program, based on a predetermined file containing static text for constituting static part of a content; and prepares in advance content character encoding format-based character code information on the static text so that the program can utilize the information.

Abstract: Provides a Web server for generating display control information for dividing and displaying a form in a style conforming to a client device used by a user, which includes a HTTP request reception unit for receiving a form request from the client device, an application code database for storing a screen definition of the form subjected to the form request and a code of a validator for executing validation of an input value inputted into an input item in the form, a form division unit for dividing the form in conformity to the acquired terminal capacity by use of the read-out screen definition of the form and the read-out code of the validator, and a screen generation unit for generating screen information to be displayed on the client device by use of a result of division.

Abstract: A web application server executes a process appropriately also with respect to an access from a terminal device which was not recognized by the web application when the application was designed. The web application server includes a DLG file storage unit 12 having stored a DLG file in which a business logic of the web application is described in a definition in an abstract representation, a DLG execution unit 13 for using this DLG file and executing a business process of the web application in response to a request from a client, a view specializer 14 for generating a view consistent with attributes of the client with JSP based on a result of the process by the DLG execution unit 13, and a response generation unit 16 for using the view with a JSP file generated at the view specializer 14 to generate and return a response to the client.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes: a main body; a sheet transporting unit provided to a side portion of the main body; and a noise source provided inside of the main body with a rotation portion, wherein the sheet transporting unit includes a plate having a plurality of holes, and an opposing member having a surface opposing the plate, and wherein the noise source, the plate, and the opposing member are disposed in the stated order from inside of the main body to outside of the main body.

Abstract: In an apparatus for editing an application having a model and a view separated from each other, there is provided an application A execution module for editing a first model in the application, a model converter for converting the first model into a second model, and an application B execution module for displaying the second model in its view on a display device. The application B execution module includes an event generator for generating an event based on an update made to the second model when the second model is updated and changes the view displayed on the display device based on the event generated by the event generator.
