Abstract: The disclosure generally describes computer-implemented methods, software, and systems for generating and using platform-independent code. A computer-implemented method includes: identifying a user interface library that includes abstractions of user interface elements, each abstraction being platform-independent and associated with platform-specific code including user interface code unique to different platforms; receiving application code at design time that includes an abstraction of a user interface element; and storing the application code for use on a client device. At subsequent execution time, the application code is configured to: determine platform-specific information of the client device; execute platform-specific lines of code appropriate for the client device; and present the user interface element in a user interface of the client device in a way that is appropriate for the client device.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes methods, systems, and computer program products for providing context-based adaptations in business applications. One example method includes identifying an executing instance of an application associated with at least one adaptation configuration, where each adaptation configuration is associated with a set of context criteria. An environmental context associated with the executing instance of the application is determined. A request to perform an operation of the application is received, and a comparison of the environmental context is made with the at least one adaptation configuration to determine if the environmental context satisfies the set of context criteria. The at least one adaptation configuration is then applied for the performance of the operation based on the environmental context satisfying the set of context criteria.

Abstract: A framework is disclosed for generating user interfaces for application programs, such as web application programs. The framework may provide a first set of database tables to define screens including tables that describe components, screen layout, component configuration, application model assignment, and/or event handling. The framework may further provide a first set of transactions for maintaining the first set of database tables and hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) response means for generating the web pages by accessing the first set of database tables.
