An access token broker is executed within a first iFrame, a fully trusted application is executed in a second iFrame within the first iFrame, and a partially trusted application is executed in a third iFrame within the second iFrame. The partially trusted application may identify the iFrame in which the access token broker is executing and request an access token from the access token broker. The access token broker determines whether the request for the access token is to be granted. If the request is to be granted, the access token broker requests the access token from a hosting application. The hosting application obtains the requested access token from an access token server and provides the access token to the access token broker. The access token broker receives the access token from the hosting application and provides the access token to the partially trusted application.

Computer systems, devices, and associated methods of serializing a web page that is of a first format and includes a plug-in including properties of a second format are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a method includes identifying, in a manifest for the plug-in, properties for inclusion in the first format in a serialized web page. The manifest may also include metadata associated with the properties in the list of properties. The method includes formatting the properties, including associated property values and metadata, in the first format and adding the formatted properties to the serialized web page. The plug-in properties not included in the manifest can be added to the serialized web page in the second format.

Serializing plug-in data in a web page

A secured method for isolated parts of a web application to invoke APIs across boundaries is described. A host web page receives a first object from a first inline frame of the host web page. The first object identifies a first Application Programming Interface (API). The host web page validates the first object against a predefined APIs for the host web page. Once the first object is validated, the host web page forwards the first object to a second inline frame of the host web page. The second inline frame parses the first object and translate the parsed first object to a second API corresponding to the second inline frame.

Invoking application programming interfaces across isolated parts of a web application

Computer systems, devices, and associated methods of loading a bundle component, comprising a bundle of scripts and a manifest including metadata for the bundle, that is compatible with a dependent bundle component are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a method includes identifying a bundle component identifier and a version identifier for the bundle component that the dependent bundle component depends on in a manifest associated with the dependent bundle component. The method then includes retrieving a manifest for a bundle component that includes the bundle component identifier and is a most recent compatible version of the bundle component. The method includes loading the most recent compatible bundle component based on a URL in the retrieved manifest for the bundle component.

Manifest-driven loader for web pages

Disclosed in some examples, are methods, systems, and machine-readable mediums which provide for a focus management framework that provides for greater knowledge and control of focus transitions. An event listener is attached to a root focusable element of the DOM. The event listener may receive all focus interactions with any child element. By listening for all focus events the framework may provide more powerful events that provide both the source element and destination element as event parameters. This framework allows many different applications, such as for example, allowing the application to customize the order focus is transitioned (from the browser's default order), to allow for a history of focus events, to enable a declarative language for defining behaviors for elements of the application that need to be involved with scenarios that depend on focus transition, aggregating messages sent to assistive technologies triggered by a focus transition, and the like.

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method and system for generating a uniform resource locator using one or more terms in a hierarchical taxonomy. Specifically, embodiments disclosed herein provide receiving a plurality of terms for a term set and generating a hierarchical taxonomy for the term set using the plurality of terms. Once the hierarchical taxonomy has been generated, a navigation property may be assigned to at least one term in the plurality of terms. A navigation term set that mirrors the properties of the hierarchical taxonomy is then created using the at least one term.

Taxonomy driven site navigation

Embodiments are provided that include client-server computing architectures that use minimal download features and functionality as part of page navigation operations, but are not so limited. In an embodiment, a client-server computer system uses a page transition strategy to navigate between electronic pages based in part on script, style, content, and/or other page differences that can be used as part of providing minimal download features and functionality. A method of an embodiment operates to package page incremental rendering information for use in rendering a new electronic page without having to reapply common aspects of the new electronic page and a reference electronic page. Other embodiments are also disclosed.

Minimal download and simulated page navigation features

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method and system for generating a webpage using one or more terms in a hierarchical taxonomy. Specifically, embodiments provide for identifying an item in a database where the item is associated with at least one term in a term set having a hierarchical structure. A uniform resource locator is generated for the webpage using the at least one term and the hierarchical structure associated with the at least one term. An identifier associated with the item is then determined and appended to the generated uniform resource locator.

Document scheduling architecture for automatic publication and removal from publication of a document. A document can be developed, approved, and scheduled for automatic viewing and removal from viewing using start data and end data that are represented as job definitions. Based on a triggering event, the jobs are selected and executed to effect document publication. The document is automatically published making it viewable by all users who have suitable permission to do so. The architecture provides a pluggable override scheduling, and hence, extensible scheduling solution for third-party entities to provide alternative approval and/or scheduling behavior. Other attributes include reporting to a user the status of a document, execution of a policy in combination with the document publication such that the policy overrides selected attributes of the publication state, and a management filter process wherein the document can be reviewed independently by another individual for veto of publication if desired.

Managing document publication using time-driven job scheduling

A data system has a data structure with a posting corresponding to a set of pieces of content to be served. The posting includes a description of each piece of content including a name, a type, and a location thereof. The posting is presented to a user according to a pointed-to template. The template includes a placeholder within which each piece of content is to be presented, and positioning information setting forth a layout position for each placeholder. The template points to a separate content definition information module that includes content definition information for each placeholder including the name and type of the corresponding piece of content. Such name and type matches a corresponding name and type as set forth in the posting.

Connected templates in connection with a content management server system or the like

Techniques to manage vocabulary terms for a taxonomy system are described. An apparatus may comprise a managed taxonomy system having a vocabulary management module to manage a taxonomy of formal vocabulary terms organized in a hierarchical structure. The taxonomy may include a category for informal vocabulary terms stored as a list of keywords. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Architecture for security trimming results in a document version environment. Versioned documents are stored with metadata that includes associated access rights. All versions are searched using multiple user accounts of varying levels of access that correspond to the document versions. Result sets are returned for each user account and trimmed during a merge process by considering the user rights associated with each of multiple versions of objects or documents. Each document metadata includes a scope ID that defines security rights for that document. In a two-version document (major and minor) implementation, successive queries are run as a user with rights to all minor versions, and as a user with rights to all major items, but not the minor items. The result sets are merged into a final trimmed result set by examining the rights to each item in the versioned sets that align with rights of the current user.

Trimmed and merged search result sets in a versioned data environment

A web page is generated by locating an area in a website to place the page and selecting a template for the page. An output cache manager allows a user to attach a cache profile in the form of metadata to the template and the area in the website. The output cache manager uses the metadata to identify the cache profile that is associated with the web page when the page is rendered. The cache profile identifies the page output directive caching parameters that are associated with a web page when the page is rendered. A cache profile may be inherited by web pages that are dependent on the site in which the page resides such that a previously established cache profile is overridden. The cache profile may be created and modified by any authorized user. Any modification to the cache profile may be applied to all web pages that are associated with the cache profile.
