Abstract: A method, apparatus, and program storage device for sharing objects with a network server and a database server using a common object model. A first set of objects is stored in a common file accessible by a network server and a database server. A second set of objects is stored in the common file. The first set of objects has network server executable logic and the second set of objects has database server executable logic. The first set of objects are published to the network server and the second set of objects are built in the database server. Building the second set of objects involves building a data link library (DLL) stub for the database server to run intermediate code language on the database server.

Abstract: A method, apparatus, and article of manufacture for providing a programming development environment that supports the development of controls that may be executed in a computer connected to an Internet or Intranet, without the requirement that the controls be installed on the server. This is accomplished by encapsulating the data needed to execute the control without installing the control as objects in an application file storing the entire software project. The application file is copied to a data storage device of the server, which in turn retrieves the application file, accesses the objects containing the data needed to execute the control without installing the control, and then processes the data to execute the control.
