Abstract: A system and method for developing web services that includes three frameworks: a Design Time Framework, an Object-Service Framework, and a Run Time Framework. In the Design Time Framework, the system and method includes receiving a schema in a descriptive markup language from a user and generating source code artifacts in an object oriented programming language based on the schema. In the Object-Service Framework, the system and method includes relating the generated source code artifacts to a set of pre-built runtime services. Finally, in a Run Time Framework, the system and method includes providing the set of runtime services, wherein the runtime services interact with the generated source code artifacts through the relationship defined by the Object-Service Framework.

Abstract: A system and method for developing web services that incorporate business rules. The system and method includes three frameworks: a Design Time Framework, an Object-Service Framework, and a Run Time Framework. In the Design Time Framework, the system and method includes receiving a business rule in a descriptive markup language from a user and generating source code artifacts in an object oriented programming language based on the business rule. In the Object-Service Framework, the system and method includes relating the generated source code artifacts to a pre-built Business Rules service. Finally, in the Run Time Framework, the system and method includes providing the Business Rules service, wherein the Business Rules service interacts with the generated source code artifacts through the relationship defined by the Object-Service Framework.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method of presenting an electronic bill from a biller to a customer over a computer network includes steps of receiving biller-originated bill data and bill format data over the network into a bill presentment and payment database. The inputted bill data and bill format data are then stored in a first area of the bill presentment and payment database. The stored bill data and/or the bill format data is then validated and the validated bill data and/or the format data is swapped from the first area to a second area of the bill presentment and payment database, the second area being accessible to the customer. The bill, now incorporating the validated bill data and formatted according to the bill format data, may then be presented to the customer. A third, customer accessible area may be included in the database to archive the bills. The bill format data may include a plurality of bill templates, each of which may define a distinct appearance for the bill.
