Abstract: Developer-composed custom application session parameters are disclosed. In various embodiments, a definition of a custom application session parameter is received via a software development tool user interface. Application code to store and manage the custom application session parameter, including by making the custom application parameter available across a plurality of application user interface pages, is generated programmatically based at least in part on the definition.

Abstract: Techniques to prevent circular event publication are disclosed. In various embodiments, a change in an entity's own value is detected. A change event is published based at least in part on the detected change, including by associating with the change event an event path vector that includes an identifier associated with the entity.

Abstract: A system for generation of a RESTful data service comprises a processor and a memory. The processor is configured to: receive a business process model; read the business process model to determine one or more inputs and one or more outputs; generate code for a RESTful data service to invoke the business process model that provides the input data and processes the output data; and generate a URL for the RESTful data service, wherein the URL represents the business process as an addressable resource. The memory is coupled to the processor and is configured to provide the processor with instructions.

Abstract: Techniques to process a form are disclosed. An attribute associated with a child data model is recognized in a first set of form data associated with a form an attribute associated with a child data model. A data value associated with the attribute is used to obtain a second set of form data associated with the child data model. The second set of form data is associated with the form.

Abstract: Expression based declarative data service execution chaining is disclosed. In various embodiments, an indication is received that a first data service has returned a result indicating the first data service has been invoked successfully. An expression is evaluated, based at least in part on the result. A second data service is invoked based at least in part on an outcome of the evaluation of the expression.

Abstract: Developer-composed context menus, e.g., composed by a developer in connection with use of a software development tool to create an application, are disclosed. In various embodiments, a definition of a context menu option and an associated action are received. Application code to implement the context menu at runtime, including by performing processing at runtime as defined in the definition to determine one or both of the context menu option and the associated action, is generated programmatically.

Abstract: Interface control(s) associated with declaratively defining an action flow are provided; the action flow includes a desired outcome of an action flow. Information associated with a user interface page is received; this information includes a state during which the user interface page is displayed. Information associated with a business service associated with a content management server is received; that information includes a state during which the business service is performed on the content management server. In the action flow definition, a first association between the user interface page and the state during which the user interface page is displayed and a second association between the business service and the state during which the business service is invoked on the content management server are recorded.
