Abstract: A system for development, deliver, deployment and operation of an application includes at least one memory including instructions on a computing device and at least one processor on the computing device. The processor is operably coupled to the at least one memory and is arranged and configured to execute the instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to implement an application within a platform associated with a namespace for the platform, where the platform is one platform of a plurality of platforms. The processor implements a descriptor having an identifier that uniquely associates the descriptor with the application, where the descriptor comprises a single file that is platform independent and that includes a plurality of namespaces and application-specific attributes for each of the namespaces to enable the application to operate on multiple different platforms using the same descriptor.

Abstract: In one general aspect, a method is described that includes populating and transferring parameters across a plurality of applications executable on multiple user interface platforms. The method may include receiving a request to launch a first application executing on a first user interface platform, accessing a plurality of parameter values and populating fields in user interfaces associated with the first application with the parameter values. In response to receiving a request to launch a second application executing on a second user interface platform, the method can include accessing a signature associated with the first application, determining that the signature matches a predefined signature, associated with the second application, generating at least one uniform resource locator of the plurality of parameter values, and transmitting the uniform resource locator to the second application.

Abstract: A system for generating a Web service includes a graphical user interface to guide a designer to create a Web service in pre-defined stages. The graphical user interface receives an input that selects an object and associated attributes from a repository of pre-defined business objects. The system includes a Web service generator that automatically generates code describing and implementing the Web service according to the selected object and attributes. The system also includes a Web service engine to perform runtime operations of the Web service.
