Abstract: A method includes displaying an application page at a client system, the application page including a context menu container object that is not visibly displayed as part of the application page. During the display of the application page, the context menu container object holds a current set of context menu options and is responsive to a prescribed input to display the context menu as having the current set of context menu options. Further, during display of the application page, the context menu container object consumes events, evaluates logic to determine context menu options to display based on the first event, updates the current set of context menu options and displays the context menu as having the current set of context menu options.

Abstract: Composable events to provide a dynamic user interface are disclosed. In various embodiments, a definition of a custom user interface event is received. The definition includes an identification of a data value to be associated with the event, a scope of the event within which the event will be consumed, and an event trigger in response to which an instance of the custom user interface event is to be published. Application user interface code configured to provide one or more application user interface elements configured to publish or subscribe to the custom user interface event is generated programmatically, based at least in part on the definition.

Abstract: Capturing unstructured information in application pages is disclosed, including: receiving via an application composition interface a selection to add an annotation capability to an element associated with a page, wherein the page is associated with an application that is being defined at least in part via the application composition interface; storing an application definition for the application, wherein the application definition includes for the page a page definition data that reflects the selection; and generating application code for the application programmatically, based at least in part on the application definition, wherein the application code is configured to include in the page as displayed to an end user of the application an ability for the end user to input annotation data to be associated with the element.

Abstract: A selection of a user interface artifact from a set of one or more user interface artifacts associated with a first user interface to an enterprise content management system is received. A selection of a user interface aspect from a set of one or more user interface aspects is received. Each user interface aspect in the set of user interface aspects is capable of modifying at least one user interface artifact from the set of user interface artifact. A second user interface to the enterprise content management system is generated using the selected user interface artifact and the selected user interface aspect where the selected user interface artifact in the second user interface is implemented per the selected user interface aspect.

Abstract: A first and second local scope definition associated with a first and second node, respectively, in a hierarchical application tree are received where the hierarchical application tree includes application instructions at one or more nodes within the hierarchical application tree. A pruned version of the hierarchical application tree is determined including by propagating the first local scope definition from the first node to the second node, a child of the first node. Any nodes that are not relevant to a particular set of one or more local scope definitions at a given node are pruned in order to obtain a pruned version of the hierarchical application tree. A qualified application is generated using those application instructions at the unpruned nodes in the pruned version of the hierarchical application tree.

Abstract: A first and a second local scope definition for a first and a second node in a hierarchical application tree are received where the hierarchical application tree includes application instructions at nodes. A pruned version of the tree is determined by propagating the first local scope definition from the first node to the second, child node. If the two scope definitions are the same type, the second local scope definition is used instead of the first at the second node. Otherwise, both the first and second local scope definitions are used at the second node if they are independent types. Any nodes that are not relevant are pruned and a qualified application is generated using application instructions at the unpruned nodes.
