  • Patent number: 7617459
    Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method are provided for automatically generating a web interface for an MFS-based IMS application. The apparatus, system, and method include an import module that imports MFS-based IMS source files corresponding to an MFS-based IMS application. A metadata generator stores a standardized metadata description of the Message Input Description (MID) and Message Output Description (MOD) for the MFS-based IMS application. The standardized metadata description may comprise one or more XMI files. A code generator generates a middleware application corresponding to the MFS-based IMS application from the standardized metadata descriptions. The middleware application comprises an interface between a client application and the corresponding MFS-based IMS application. The present invention may include a command-line interface that allows one or more parameter sets to be provided by a user as a single input.

  • Patent number: 7370280
    Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method are provided for defining a web services interface for an MFS-based IMS application. The apparatus, system, and method include a parser that parses an MFS-based IMS source file into one or more Message Input Descriptions (MIDs) and one or more Message Output Descriptions (MODs). A prompt module prompts a user for a device type and device feature combination supported by the MIDs and MODs. A display module displays a MID list and a MOD list and automatically selects one or more MODs associated with a user-selected MID. An assembly module assembles the user-selected MID, the associated MODs, and the user-selected device type and device feature combination into a web services interface.

  • Patent number: 6964053
    Abstract: A method of and a system for processing an enterprise application request on an end user application and an application server. This is accomplished by initiating the application request on the end user application in a first language (such as a markup language) with a first application program (such as a Web browser), and transmitting the application request to the server and converting the application from the first language of the first end user application to a language running on the application server, processing the application request on the application server, and transmitting the response from the application server back to the end user application, and converting the response from the language running on the application server to the language of the end user application.
