A computing device and method for coordinating the development of a client application including application components comprising one or more of at least one of a data component, a message component or a screen component, having corresponding component definitions, or a workflow component comprising a series of instructions. A first development pattern module configured for interaction with a development environment is provided by a computer user interface, the first development pattern module configured for selecting a first pattern from a plurality of patterns based on an application component type central to the client application, the first development pattern module for guiding a user interface with a plurality of predefined steps to coordinate a development of the application components through user input events via the user interface in accordance with the first pattern.

System and method for applying development patterns for component based applications

System and method for creating a wireless application from a web service definition language employs an algorithm that analyzes each message of the web service definition an maps the message to a wireless application message and a wireless application data structure. The message maps are used by a proxy at an edge of a wireless network to convert web service messages to wireless messages, and vice versa.

System and method for generating a wireless application from a web service definition

A system and method for generating a service interface definition for a data source from an application definition is provided. The system and method includes: a component processor for examining components forming a component based application, which include a screen component having screen definitions, to identify a screen control mapping identifying a transition between a source screen and a target screen. The system and method includes a service interface generation engine for generating a Web service definition for a Web service interface of a backend server of a data source, based on an operation definition describing an action supported by the data source. The operation definition is constructed based on the identified transition.

System and method for generating a web service definition and database schema from wireless application definition

A data source detection method and system for detecting data sources are provided. The data source detection system comprises a generic data source connector for connecting to a data source, a data source connectors repository for storing the location of the data source and a data source model for representing information contained in the data source. The method comprises the steps of reading a data source connector repository, locating and connecting to a data source connector of a data source and building a data source model of the data source.

System and method of data source detection

A computing device and method for coordinating the development of a client application including application components comprising one or more of at least one of a data component, a message component or a screen component, having corresponding component definitions, or a workflow component comprising a series of instructions. A first development pattern module configured for interaction with a development environment is provided by a computer user interface, the first development pattern module configured for selecting a first pattern from a plurality of patterns based on an application component type central to the client application, the developing definitions of at least one of the application components through interaction with a data model of the development environment providing a persistent state of the application components . . . the first pattern is selected from the group consisting of: a pattern for generating a suitable application based on an available backend data source messaging description; a pattern for developing the suitable application based on an available backend data source messaging description such that the entire application is developed including data components and screen components; a pattern for developing the application based on an existing database schema; a pattern for developing a standard set of data components that model a particular business domain for the application, a screen pattern for coordinating the development of a screen component as the first component; a message pattern for coordinating a development of a message component as the first component; and a script pattern for coordinating a development of a workflow component as a second component as recited in a manner in the independent claims 1 and 21. Any comments considered necessary by applicant must be submitted no later than the payment of the issue fee and, to avoid processing delays, should preferably accompany the issue fee. Such submissions should be clearly labeled 'Comments on Statement of Reasons for Allowance.'
