Abstract: The present invention provides a method, system, and computer program product for extending Java Server Faces Web pages to support multiple devices. The method includes: providing a device and modeling language independent Java Server Faces (JSF) web page, wherein the JSF web page does not contain any modeling language specific elements.

Abstract: A view is created that includes nodes in a serial sequence of nodes. Hierarchical tree data is received. It can be determined whether a node is a start node of a serial sequence of nodes. Responsive to a determination that the node is a start node of a serial sequence of nodes a collapse control of the start node in the serial sequence of nodes is changed to a collapsed state. The computer-implemented process counts intervening nodes between the start node and an end node of the serial sequence of nodes to form a count, hides the intervening nodes to form hidden intervening nodes, creates a segment using the start node with collapse control and the end node using the count in place of the hidden intervening nodes and creates the view using the segments.

Abstract: Elements are used to define a user interface. Each element can include a corresponding user interface widget and/or arrangement information for the user interface. The elements and/or corresponding widgets are hierarchically related. Each element implements a set of application programming interfaces that enable the rendering of both design-time views (e.g., design view and preview view) of the user interface as well as a runtime view of the user interface. As a result, a designer is able to view exactly what will be generated during runtime, and a widget developer will not need to develop additional software to support the design environment.

Abstract: Run-time data and visual layout definition data can be stored in a storage medium. The run-time data and the visual layout definition data can be associated with a terminal application, which is configured to communicate with a host server in blocks of data in accordance with a standardized synchronous terminal protocol. A visual screen for the terminal application can be generated by combining the layout data and the run-time data. The generating can occur when the terminal application is disconnected from the host server or host server emulator. The generated visual screen, which is a screen of a front-end of a terminal application interface, can be presented.

Abstract: The present invention provides a solution for controlling gridlines. Specifically, the present invention provides a user interface control such as a slider or the like that allows a user to simultaneously control both the style and intensity of a displayed set of grid lines. In a typical embodiment, the user interface control has a plurality of settings that each are associated with a particular intensity value and style value. In response to a manipulation by a user, the style and intensity of the set of grid lines will be controlled/changed accordingly. The values are disposed within/among a plurality of ranges, one or more of which can overlap. Manipulation of the user interface control within any of the overlapping portion(s) can result in the set of grid lines being displayed with multiple styles.
