Abstract: A computerized method, implemented in at least one processor, for automatically generating a report, the method including, receiving, by the at least one processor, a document that includes placeholders arranged in a layout, reading, by the at least one processor, the placeholders, mapping, by the at least one processor, the placeholders to respective executable queries, executing, by the at least one processor, a search of a database using the executable queries to retrieve information from the database, mapping, by the at least one processor, the information from the database to the layout, and generating an updated document that includes the information retrieved from the database arranged in a layout defined by the layout of the placeholders.

Abstract: A functionality is adapted to a client and server combination. Responsive to a request of a client for a functionality, pre-configured properties of the client, requested functionality, and a server on which the functionality is run are retrieved. An availability check is performed, based on the retrieved pre-configured properties of the client, server, and requested functionality, to eliminate properties of the functionality which are not capable of functioning on the client-server combination. The result of the availability check is provided as a set of properties which is available for the requested functionality to run on the client-server combination. The pre-configured properties define different property types, property values of the different property types, functionality values for each property value, and rules that instruct a processor how to perform the availability check based on the property types, the property values and the functionality values.

Abstract: Certain example embodiments described herein relate to server-controlled display techniques for nested multi-level client dialog boxes. On the client side, standard dialog elements are shown in the dialog box. Client-side events, e.g., caused by user interaction with the dialog box, are converted to parameters for a function call to the server and are processed there. The dialog box display may be updated by transferring (possibly only) dialog item changes that result from the function call back to the client. The server may process separate threads and bundle dialog and sub-dialog data in one function, and the server may split the bundled data for dialog and/or sub-dialog box rendering, as appropriate. Thus, an advantage of certain example implementations is that no dialog-specific logic (e.g., data access, dialog specific functions, etc.) needs to exist on the client side. Instead, the client side may simply render a fixed set of dialog box items.
