The present invention provides a solution to the needs described above through a system and method for a business applications server. The automated system of the present invention uses a persistence framework to provide a process for saving and restoring state of business objects and for performing operations thereon, and metadata driven processes to dynamically define class properties and behavior for each class of business object, in order to control the execution of the required tasks with minimum use of redundant data input to the several applications, thereby minimizing the use of hardware resources and user input and programming effort.

Method and apparatus for a business applications server

The present invention provides a system and method for integrating disparate business applications, and managing the applications processes in a hardware resource and user effort efficient manner. The automated system of the present invention uses a business systems platform comprised of several unique servers to efficiently manage multiple applications which are themselves generally distributed across a network, and to control the execution of the required tasks with minimum use of redundant data input to the several applications, thereby minimizing the use of hardware resources and user input effort. Business objects are controlled through a persistence framework which is Java, XML and EJB based.
