Abstract: A method, system, computer readable medium containing instructions to execute a method for an intermediary, such as a controller, to interact between the interface of an older application and a newly programmed User Interface in order to take advantage of existing transactional logic while still allowing a user to interface with a new User Interface.

Abstract: A system for extending a business object used in a user interface. The system includes a service layer comprising the business object. The system also includes a models framework comprising a meta model including business data of the business object, wherein the meta model is extended for use in the user interface. The system further includes a processing engine for generating the user interface, wherein the processing engine provides a platform for extending the meta model for use in the user interface.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, for leveraging legacy reports in a service-oriented architecture include receiving search conditions defining requested data and submitting a request to a reporting server for report results on data in a back-end database. The request defines search criteria, corresponding to the search conditions for identifying data in the back-end, in a format used by the reporting server. Report results are received from the reporting server in response to the request. The report results include data identified in the back-end as matching the search criteria. The reporting server interacts with the back-end and is implemented within an integrated business process architecture having multiple software modules executable on a virtual machine. The integrated business process architecture operates to update data across the software modules in real time, and the back-end includes relational databases for storing data.
