Abstract: Template-driven data access is enabled. A collection of data model component identifiers that are accessible for use by view developers may be established. View developers may specify views of the data model with a view description language and may utilize accessible data model component identifiers to reference data model components that may be rendered in the views. The views may be in accordance with a Model-View-Controller (MVC) architecture. In contrast to a conventional MVC architecture, changes to a view do not require changes to a corresponding controller. For example, view developers may create, update, modify and delete views independent of the activity of controller developers. In accordance with at least one embodiment, there is a universal controller for views specified with the view specification language and/or utilizing the predefined collection of accessible data model component identifiers.

Abstract: Oligomers of polyarylene polyethethers (PAPE) having a mol wt Mn in the range from 1000 to about 10,000 are converted to monofunctionalized macromers, so as, in the first instance, to provide a reactive double bond (for example, a vinylbenzyl group) at only one end of the PAPE; and, in the second instance, to provide a triple bond (benzylethynyl group) at only one end of the PAPE. The macromer may be a polysulfone, a polyketone, or a copolymer containing both sulfone and ketone-containing units; or, the macromer may be monofunctionalized PPO. The synthesis of macromers with terminal double bonds is carried out with a fast and quantitative modified Williamson etherification of the PAPE with an electrophilic haloalkyl reactant ("HAR") such as chloromethylstyrene ("C1MS") in the presence of a major molar amount (more than 50 mol % based on the number of moles of OH group originally present in the oligomer) of a phase transfer catalyst such as tetrabutylammonium hydrogen sulfate ("TBAH").
