Abstract: Managing microservice function requests is provided. A request originating from a browser of the computer to execute a function corresponding to a microservice locally deployed on the computer is received using a software development kit operating in the computer. The request to execute the function is routed to the microservice using a local reverse proxy running in the software development kit. Other requests originating from the browser of the computer to execute one or more other functions corresponding to one or more microservices in a remotely deployed microservice architecture that interact with the function corresponding to the microservice are received using the software development kit. The other requests to execute the one or more other functions corresponding to the one or more microservices in the remotely deployed microservice architecture are routed, via a single uniform resource locator corresponding to a remote reverse proxy, using the local reverse proxy.

Abstract: During development of an application, an association between a view of the application and a data service, and rules applicable to the view, can be received. The rules can include an indication of a security role assigned to users who are allowed to access the view and an indication of whether the view is allowed to access the data service based on the security role assigned to the user. Based on the rules applicable to the view, permissions for accessing the data service by the view can be automatically extrapolated. Based on the permissions extrapolated for accessing the data service by the view, a binding credential, configured to be processed to determine whether the view of the application is granted access to data provided by the data service at runtime, can be automatically created. The at least one binding credential can be assigned to the view of the application.

Abstract: A method and software tool for performing an operation on a graphic object in a display of overlapping graphic objects in a data processing system are provided. The method comprises the steps of detecting the position of a pointer on the display; displaying to a user an indication of potential target objects of the operation which coincide with the pointer position; detecting a selection of one of the indicated potential target objects as the target object; and performing the operation on the selected object. In the case where the target object is not the outermost layer of the graphic objects on the display, the method may also comprise temporarily making the selected target object visible during performance of the operation on the target object by making the overlying objects transparent.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a method which derives from metadata definitions the allowable values for a method argument, where the allowable values are a subset or a restricted set of values from a defined range of values for that type of method argument. The subset of allowable values is then converted into a fragment of source code that can be used to initialize the argument variable with one of the allowable values when the method is invoked. The fragment of source code is inserted into the source code for that method argument using an editor tool. A system for implementing the method may comprise an integrated development environment (IDE) program.

Abstract: A computer-implementable method, system and computer-readable medium for establishing and utilizing a widget-centric context-based layer are presented. In a preferred embodiment, the computer-implemented method includes a computer detecting a mouse hover over a visual control that is displayed on a visual layer canvas. In response to determining that the visual control is supported by a context layer, the computer displays the visual control and component icons on a context layer canvas, wherein the context layer includes elements from both an upper visual layer and a lower component layer, and wherein the component icons are associated with respective components from the lower component layer. The computer then receives a user input that selects one or more of the component icons, thus permitting associated components to be edited.

Abstract: A fault-tolerant method of bottom-up editing whereby simultaneous display of the GUI view and source code view are available, and wherein real-time bottom-up editing is provided. In accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention, changes to the source code are isolated, first by isolating and analyzing source code according to groupings associated with the structure of the language used for the source code and then isolating and analyzing individual lines of source code within these groupings. If there are no errors in a particular grouping of source code, the changes in the grouping are automatically applied to the GUI. If errors are found in a grouping, the grouping is further analyzed to determine which lines contain the error. Semantic and syntactic errors are thereby isolated and, where found, are ignored. However, correct lines of the source code are also identified and thereby applied to the GUI for interpretation and display.
