Mating of a modified user interface to existing user interface code is provided. When a user interface is modified, a pseudo code representation of the modified user interface is generated. At application runtime, the pseudo code representation is passed to a user interface render engine that is modified to parse the pseudo code representation to generate a representation of the modified user interface that may be processed by the render engine for rendering the modified user interface for display. A generic code library is generated for receiving events from the modified user interface and for passing the received events to proper event handlers in the existing code library without the need to modify the existing code library in response to modifying the user interface.

Dynamic mating of a modified user interface with pre-modified user interface code library

Architecture that introduces evaluation and decisionmaking (e.g., at the server) and allows a runtime decision to be made, on a per-request basis, as to where the data calculations will occur, on the server, on the client, or as a shared execution on both the server and the client. The decision can be made based on environment variables (e.g., permissions, network bandwidth, server load, etc.) of the user, for example. This approach provides performance tuning of a form by dynamically optimizing the location of execution of the code based on environment factors.
