Abstract: The disclosure generally describes methods, software, and systems, including a method for application versioning. An updated version of a software component to be executed by an application is received while an instance of the application is executing using an instance of a current version. The updated version is stored with new version information, concurrently with the current version. A request is received for execution of the application that uses the software component. Invoking logic in the application is updated to invoke the software component. The updating includes modifying the invoking logic to invoke the updated version using the updated version information in the invoking logic. The updating causes the invoking logic to invoke, at runtime, the updated version. Instances of the application invoked prior to the receiving and storing continue to execute using the current version. The application is provided for execution, including the updated invoking logic.

Abstract: The disclosure generally describes methods, media, and systems for providing multiple user interface platform technology support for portal applications. One computer-implemented method includes receiving, using a user-interface (UI) framework of a computing system including one or more computers, a request for incremental data from a specified application of at least one application, wherein, prior to receipt of the request, UI platform code formatted according to a particular UI platform technology type was transmitted to a requestor of the request, parsing the request to determine at least the specified application, determining whether the specified application includes a UI platform handler, determining a responsive UI platform technology type, and determining whether to switch the particular UI platform technology type to the responsive UI platform technology type.

Abstract: The object based navigation is an intelligent user interface that uses a source object to determine which target information is to be presented to the user. This is done by associating an object to one or more operations, so that selection of a given source object would result in a predefined operation to be activated. The role of the user may also affect the predefined operation that is activated. If multiple operations are associated with a given source object, these operations may be prioritized, so that the one with the highest priority is performed as a default operation.

Abstract: A generic portal template includes properties that are common to all system templates. Using the generic portal template, a connector framework is exploited in order to expose every type of external information system generically and to make available to a portal its exposed metadata, methods, and other properties dynamically. The generic portal template is extendible to accommodate new properties of an external information system. The generic portal template is reusable when new external information systems are recognized. The generic portal template is especially advantageous when it is desired to access third party external information systems, such as databases or applications in a portal.
