A self-contained demonstration that demonstrates the functionality of an application module. More specifically, the functionality of the application module with respect to information within an external information source that is located remotely from the application module may be demonstrated. In some instances, the components of a system providing the self-contained demonstration may be installed and executed on a single device, while the external information source would be located remotely and externally from the single device. In order to demonstrate the functionality of the application module, the self-contained demonstration may enable the application module to interact with a local information source in substantially the same manner as the application module would interact with an external information source. The local information source may be installed locally on the single device, and may be a scaled-down version of an external information source.

A method for communicating data includes selecting a portion of data for communication to a remote computer with the data portion in device-dependent format and comprising at least an integer, a real number, or a binary value. A portable buffer is generated based on the selected data portion, the portable buffer comprising at least one device-independent data representation. The portable buffer is communicated to the remote computer for processing the data portion in a second device-dependent format.

Data packaging system and method

The invention provides systems and methods for developing multi-platform graphical user interface (GUI) for a target software application. In invention includes assessing one or more functional requirements of the target software application and defining a functional specification for the multi-platform GUI using the assessed functional requirements. The functional specification is used to develop source code for the graphical user interface. An abstraction framework that evaluates functions of the GUI source code and provides instruction to perform the functions in each of the plurality of operating environments is then developed and used as an intermediary between the GUI source code and each of the plurality of operating environments.

A method for interfacing products with a web browser comprises retrieving a product profile, the product profile associated with one product. An agent type is determined based, at least in part, on the product profile. Data is retrieved from the product based on the agent type and processed such that the data is accessible by the web browser.

Web product interface system and method

A method for communicating data includes selecting a portion of data for communication to a remote computer, with the data portion in device-dependent format and comprising at least an integer, a real number, or a binary value. An XML tree of values is generated from the selected data portion and the XML tree comprises the selected portion of data with each value associated with one data type. The XML tree of values is bundled into a portable buffer communicated to the remote computer for processing the data portion in a second device-dependent format.

In one embodiment, a method for communicating messages in a computing environment includes receiving a message from a client, storing the message in a persistent memory, sending the message to an intended destination until the message is received by the intended destination, and deleting the message from the persistent memory after the message is received by the intended destination.

System and method for communicating messages among components in a computing environment

In one embodiment, a method for communicating messages between components in a client/server environment comprises initiating, in response to a request from an application on a server system, a process for receiving messages from one or more first components associated with a client system, the process initiated using a generalized architecture for communicating messages between components in a client/server application. The method includes registering with the process one or more second components associated with the application, receiving at the process associated with the application a message intended for a second component on the server system, the message initiated by a first component on a client system. The method includes unpacking at least a portion of the received message, determining the second component associated with the server system for which the message is intended, and initiating the second component for which the message is intended in response to the message.

A method for generating HTML based on common XSLT includes retrieving XML data from a data provider in response to a request from a client, the XML data comprising at least one dataset associated with at least one SVG tag or at least one table tag. The retrieved data is dynamically transformed using a common XSLT file. One HTML page is automatically generated for each dataset included in the retrieved data at least partially based on the transformation, each HTML page comprising at least one table or one SVG chart.

A method for customizing a data display using a presentation profile comprises retrieving extensible Markup Language (XML) data in response to a request from a client. A presentation profile is loaded based on at least one characteristic of the client. The XML data is formatted into a data display based on the presentation profile and the data display is communicated to the client.

System and method for customizing a data display using a presentation profile

A method for managing operating system option values includes receiving a request to perform a function involving an option value in a computing device. The computing device is one of a plurality of computing devices, and at least two of the plurality of computing devices are associated with different operating systems. The method also includes identifying one or more commands associated with the requested function. The one or more commands are operable to cause the computing device to perform the requested function. The method further includes generating the one or more commands, communicating the one or more commands for execution at the computing device, receiving a response associated with the one or more commands, and making at least a portion of the response available.
