A system is provided for an application executed by a client to invoke a remote object method of a remote object of a remote object class that is hosted by a server. The application instantiates a proxy of a proxy class that includes a proxy member function with the same signature as the remote object member function. The application associates an object identifier with the proxy. The application invokes the proxy member function of the proxy. Under control of the invoked proxy member function, the application sends to the server an invocation request message that includes the object identifier that is associated with the proxy and an identifier of the remote object member function. The application relies on functionality provided by the browser without the need for the browser to access add-on functionality when executing the application.

Object-oriented remote procedure calls for browser applications

A system is provided for synchronizing a property value between a proxy of an application of a client and a corresponding remote object of a server. The application instantiates a proxy of a proxy class corresponding to a remote object of a remote object class where the proxy class specifies a property with a proxy getter. The application sends to the server an invocation request message to invoke a remote object member function of a remote object and receives an invocation response message. When the invocation response message includes a property update, the application extracts from the invocation response message the value of the property from the property update and stores the extracted value in the proxy. When the proxy getter for the property is invoked, the value of the property can be retrieved from the proxy without having to send an invocation request message to the server.

Synchronization of property values between a client and a server

Examples of the disclosure provide for receiving a data set at a design surface from a data source, and inferring a first data type from the data set. A first control type is generated for the inferred first data type. A second data type is inferred from the data set and a second control type is generated for the inferred second data type, with the first control type and the second control type being different. A layout is generated for an application document that includes the first control type and the second control type.

Generation of an application from data

A system is provided for an application executing at a client to send invocation requests to remote objects of a server. Each invocation request is generated when the application invokes a proxy of a proxy class of the application corresponding to a remote object of a remote object class. For each invocation request, when the invocation request is deferrable, the system stores the invocation request. When the invocation request is not deferrable, the system sends to the server an invocation request message that includes each stored invocation request not previously sent and the current invocation request. The system receives invocation response messages from the server. For each invocation response of a received invocation response message, the system provides to the application an indication that the invocation response has been received.
