Abstract: Customization of source code of a software program like a business application is enabled without modifying the source code of the software. External pieces of source code may be executed prior to, and/or following the invocation of selected methods. The external methods executed prior to a designated method call may change the parameter values that the designated method gets called with, and the methods executed after the designated method has been called may change a value returned from the designated method.

Abstract: Architecture allows a programmer to answer questions about the source code the programmer is authoring, questions that cannot be answered by other means. A searching mechanism is provided over a much more structured presentation of the source code. The architecture utilizes components that provide an intimate knowledge about the structure of the text, namely, the source code of some particular programming language. The search mechanism employs an abstract syntax tree representation of the code over which the search is conducted. The program source code (as edited by the programmer) is transformed into the abstract syntax tree to embody the structure of the program. If the syntax tree is provided in XML, for example, an XML search mechanism such as Xpath can be utilized to perform the actual searching. This tree is then queried, allowing richer searching criteria to be expressed (by virtue of the structured format of the tree).

Abstract: A system and method for analyzing data from a plurality of computer environments. The computer environments are authenticated and data is imported to a memory location. The data is converted into a uniform format to enable expedited searching by one or more authenticated users. The data may be marked so that a user may determine which computer environment provided the data. The system may also create one or more indexes of the data to assist one or more users in searching the data.

Abstract: A method, computer readable medium and system are provided which generate a model driven form user interface to represent an application model. The method includes selecting which of multiple different logical form types to use to generate the form user interface to represent the application model. The method also includes providing a first map. A display target independent logical form is generated using the application model, the selected form type and the first map.

Abstract: A method, computer readable medium and system are provided which generate a model driven form user interface. In accordance with the method, a data model is mapped to a user interface model using at least one declarative map. The one or more declarative maps used to map the data model to the user interface model can be explicit maps which are external to a mapping engine used to generate the user interface model and any intermediate models.
