  • Methods and apparatus for building, customizing and using software abstractions of external entities
    Publication number: 20030167358
    Abstract: An entity is abstracted through implementation of a proxy object of the present invention, including functions for a software application to programmatically interact with the entity at runtime, as well as optional compile and design time implementation classes to support the development and customization of declarative proxy object definitions. In one embodiment, builder and resource interfaces are provided to assist in the creation of the implementation classes. In one embodiment, an extension interface is also provided to facilitate extension of an implementation of the proxy object. Software applications including programmatic usage of proxy object functions are compiled into object codes with proxy objects and meta data files. The compiled object codes are executed using a runtime engine, which includes proxy context objects to facilitate interaction on an instance basis, and an asynchronous event router to route asynchronous events for the entity.

  • Iterative software development environment with prioritized build rules
    Publication number: 20030163799
    Abstract: An iterative software development environment is provided to perform modified dependency analyses for use in building a target file and all the files on which it depends from one or more source files using a set of prioritized build rules. In one embodiment, the build rules indicate how different types of target files can be generated from different source file types. A given target file type may be associated with several rules, each having a different priority, for building the target from different source file types. In one embodiment, if more than one source file exists that can be used to generate a given target file, the rule with the highest priority is used. In one embodiment, the build environment identifies how to generate a particular target file by identifying the highest priority rule for which an associated source file type exists.

  • Declarative specification and engine for non-isomorphic data mapping
    Publication number: 20030110177
    Abstract: A mapping engine is provided to populate data elements of a first data structure of a first data representation with values of corresponding data elements of a second data structure of a second data representation, in accordance with at least a mapping specification. The two data structures may have different data shapes. The mapping specification may have a number of data element and data attribute mapping directives, including repeating data items. A population operation in a reversed direction may also be performed using the same mapping specification. The mapping specification may also specify an external mapping specification for a subset of the mapping operations. The external mapping specification may comprise unidirectional function pairs. In one embodiment, the mapping engine performs order dependent mapping facilitating the use of separate mapping rules for different instances of the same data element based upon the relative position of the data element instances within an input data structure.

  • Annotation based development platform for stateful web services
    Publication number: 20030023957
    Abstract: An annotation based development platform for stateful web services is described. In one embodiment, the developer expresses logic offered by the web service using a standard programming language augmented with declarative annotations specifying preferences for exposing that logic as a stateful web service. At compile time, an enhanced compiler analyzes the annotated source file and automatically generates the mechanisms required to expose its functionality as a stateful web service.

  • Cell based data processing
    Publication number: 20020133808
    Abstract: A data processing program is specified using a specification having a number of cell specifications specifying a number of data processing cells, with each data processing cell having a formula specifying an action or a computation. A cell may have one or more attributes referencing other cells. A cell formula may reference a value of another cell or be executed conditionally. In one embodiment, one of the cell is reserved as an output cell specifying the output, and a mnemonic is reserved for providing input to the specified data processing. An execution analyzer is provided to analyze the data processing specification, and identify the execution order of the cells. Further, an execution engine is provided to effectuate the specified data processing by executing the specified actions/computations of the cells in accordance with the determined execution order.
