Abstract: A system and method for creating applications, such as web applications, is disclosed. The system may comprise a controller generator that is adapted to provide an application with a controller that receives a request for data from a user and responds to the request by sending information to the user. The system may also include an error handler generator that is adapted to provide an error handler that performs error handling functionality during operation of the application if an error occurs during the processing of the request for data based on error data that is stored in an error catalog.

Abstract: A system and method that uses a process management console to maintain multiple processes that perform software services from within a presentation layer and a database layer. The method includes defining an active process list for a plurality of processes that provide services in the presentation and database layers. Another step is monitoring the plurality of processes that are active in the presentation and database layers by using a process monitor. The next step is determining when one of the processes has abnormally terminated, using the process monitor to periodically compare the active process list to the list of processes currently executing. When a process fails, the system reactivates the process under the automatic control of the process monitor, and the reactivation is performed automatically. The system can also generate an error message that is logged or sent as an email to support personnel when a process has failed.

Abstract: A system and method for providing an entitled application screen in response to a software application or presentation object's request to a database and its associated business rule objects. The method includes the step of requesting a portion of an application screen from the database and business rule objects. Another step is identifying the application screen returned for display. The application screen returned can be different than the one requested and the system must determine which application screen has been returned. An additional step is displaying the application screen using a presentation object.
