  • Patent number: 7849459
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and products are provided for deploying Java applications in resource constrained environments. Embodiments include identifying a resource constraint of a target system and filtering the Java application in dependence upon the identified resource constraint. In many embodiments, identifying a resource constraint of a target system includes identifying limited runtime processing capabilities of the target system and filtering the Java application in dependence upon the identified resource constraint includes preprocessing a tag library of the Java application. In some embodiments, preprocessing a tag library is carried out by identifying a tag library descriptor of the Java application and copying a listener from the tag library descriptor to a deployment descriptor for the Java application.

  • Patent number: 7134076
    Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer instructions in a data processing system for generating links. The present invention provides a mechanism for constructing a link in a manner that removes the need to rely on hard-coded strings. Generation of a page containing a link to a target is detected. A link is generated using parameters associated with the target.

  • Publication number: 20030097650
    Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer instructions for testing software. A software component is loaded onto a data processing system. Input data is read from a configuration data structure for a test case. The software component is executed using the test case in which an actual result is generated. The actual result is compared with an expected result.

  • Publication number: 20030069943
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method, apparatus, and computer instructions for an application server. A presentation services module uses a set of screens to receive input and presents received results. An application services module executes a set of tasks for a process using the input to obtain output data, formats the output data into a form useable by the presentation services module to form the results, and sends the results for presentation in response to the state transition.
