Abstract

Data replication between a headquarters application and one or more client applications is provided. The client applications are generally located remote from the headquarters application and communicate therewith via known methods. A pair of classes is used to generically transfer data selected for replication. New entity types and/or data types can be synchronized without having to rewrite the synchronization application by simply deploying an appropriate data class and manager class for the new entity. Moreover, the prior art worksheet is abstracted, in some aspects, to a simpler form that is more user friendly.
