Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to deploying XForms in an enterprise environment and provide a method, system and computer program product for forms integration of an external data model not implemented through a DOM accessible API. In one embodiment of the invention, a method for forms integration of an external data model not implemented through a DOM accessible API can include generating a data graph for an external data model for a forms based application and transforming the data graph into a DOM representation of the data graph. Value changes for fields of a form in the forms based application can be applied to nodes of the DOM representation and mutations in the nodes of the DOM representation can be synchronized to corresponding nodes in the data graph.

Content aggregation is used to build administration consoles. Preferred embodiments enable providing a solution-based approach to information technology ('IT') administration, whereby content can be flexibly arranged to provide a content view that is adapted for the IT solution deployed in a particular IT environment. In preferred embodiments, portal technology is used for the aggregation framework, and portlets are used for creating content. Alternatively, other approaches such as struts and tiles may be used. Preferred embodiments deploy an administration console as a Web-accessible application, and this console consolidates the administration interfaces for an arbitrary set of management operations, including administration of an arbitrary collection of hardware and/or software resources. Roles/permissions may be used when rendering content for the console, thereby customizing a view to individual end users (or user groups).

Using content aggregation to build administration consoles

The system and method of the present invention provides a solution to allow users to receive platform-independent content services on content from content applications, such as blogs, wikis and eForms. It utilizes the Atom, XLink and XML Query (XQuery) formats and protocols with a content management system (CMS) which supports these formats and protocols. In the preferred embodiment, XML eForms, such as Workplace Forms, Adobe Forms, and Microsoft InfoPath is used as an example to describe the architecture, the system and method of the present invention although the invention can be applied to the various content applications mentioned above. In another embodiment of the present invention, unstructured content is converted to structured content via UIMA so that the content services may be offered to the user on the content. It transforms the content to a form more desirable to the user prior to delivering the delivering the content. The content is delivered in an XML document and is summarized for the user.

System and method for providing platform-independent content services for users for content from content applications leveraging Atom, XLink, XML Query content management systems

A user interface template that implements a task pattern for a model class and a model adapter that provides an interface for the application that conforms to the model class are identified. A user interface for the application is created from the identified user interface template and the identified model adapter. The user interface template may include a generic view and a generic controller. The model adapter may provide a business object interface, and may be configured to communicate with the application via a J2EE Connector Architecture (JCA) connector. The user interface template may define an abstract portlet, and creating a user interface includes creating a portlet instance that communicates with the application via the model adapter. The portlet instance may be configured using an application portlet builder portlet. The portlet builder may also identify the user interface template and the model adapter.

Methods, systems and computer program products for creating user interface to applications using generic user interface templates

A portlet data synchronization system, method and apparatus. The system can include a portal server configured to distribute portal content to requesting clients over a computer communications network. The system further can include one or more portlets hosted within the portal content through the portal server. Finally, the system can include a synchronization aggregator configured to aggregate synchronization markup for individual ones of the portlets in a single synchronization envelope. The synchronization aggregator further can be have a configuration for distributing responses to the synchronization markup to respective ones of the portlets.

Portal/portlet application data synchronization

A machine translation quality determination mechanism uses comparisons of subsequent and potentially numerous reverse translations of a translated human language back to the source language. The process of translating from source language to target language to source language may iterate many times to ultimately yield information as to an assertion of low quality translation. Thus, the present invention continuously iterates this 'back-and-forth' translation until the resulting source human language text is not reasonably equivalent to the original source human language or until the process iterates a predetermined number of times. If the back-and-forth translation results in a source human language text that is not reasonably equivalent to the original source text, then the translation is identified as low quality.

A dynamic drop down control divides a drop down list into a plurality of sections. At least a first section has categories listed therein and at least a second section has items specific to a selected category listed therein. As the selected category is changed, so is the specific items listed in the second section.

Method and apparatus for a drop down control that changes contents

Drop guides are added to a Java layout manager to receive parts for a layout. When a drop guide is empty and able to receive a part, passing a cursor over the drop guide will cause it to be highlighted. Drop guides may be added in positions before, after, over and below any part for greater flexibility in laying out parts.

A software class including known system events is imported into the palette of a development tool. After selecting a class for import, all variables and methods in the class meeting predetermined criteria are discovered. The variables are marked as properties, the methods as actions and the system events as events. A capture method is generated to capture the events and forward them to the development tool. Then, an invoke method is generated to execute each of the actions, a set method is generated to set a value for each of the properties, and a get method is generated to retrieve each value. Finally, a new subclass comprising the capture method, the invoke method, the set method and the get method is generated and added to the palette.
