  • Patent number: 7853938
    Abstract: An XSLT-based transformation process addresses the performance problems of ordinary XSLT transformations and provides for an efficient conversion of many sources of raw, or interpreted, application data into many different interpretations. In addition, the data may be filtered to downstream users, thus enabling the use of security measures by way of the filters.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20060161898
    Abstract: Provided is a method and tool for automatically including libraries in a buildpath. While developing a package, a user creates a list of potential libraries in a special classpath container but does not add these libraries to the project manifest. The method tracks the packages used in the project and, once a particular package is used, or referenced, the user is notified if the libraries necessary for that particular package are not in the manifest and will thus not be available at runtime. The user can then add the required library or libraries to the manifest. The user can also set an option so that the tool automatically adds a library to the manifest when the tool detects that the library is required.

  • Patent number: 6925598
    Abstract: A process flow development tool is given a capability of determining the properties corresponding to a particular type of object and allowing a user to decide how and where the properties will be shown in a Properties dialog for individual objects of the particular type. The capability allows the tool to present a dialog that allows the user to customize, for the particular type of object, the layout for the properties in the Properties dialog. This layout may then be stored in an organizer object associated with the particular type of object.
