Patent number: 9847969Abstract: A computer readable storage medium includes executable instructions to receive a service execution request from a closed domain. The service execution request has mark-up language expressions characterizing a form definition within a closed domain. The service execution request is hosted as a resident service responsive to service requests. A request for the resident service is received. In response to the request, the resident service is executed to form a rendered object with a format universally observed in the open domain. The rendered object corresponds to the form definition within the closed domain. The rendered object is sent across the open domain to an end user. Open domain data prompted by the rendered object is received.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2012Date of Patent: December 19, 2017Assignee: Nintex Pty LimitedInventors: Stephen Robert Heaney, Tahsin Murat Boduroglu, Brian Geoffrey Cook
