Abstract
A method of providing an application development environment that produces an application framework in a development language-neutral manner which is later adapted into a particular programming language based upon the identity of a requesting device and the requesting user is disclosed. Developers create an object-oriented framework describing the logical structure of an application without being restricted to a particular programming language. Requests from a requesting device for an application appropriate rendering are then processed by utilizing the framework as the basis for the application appropriate rendering written in a format appropriate for the requesting device. The application development environment of the present invention also automatically adapts the presentation for the requesting device according to the type of object being displayed, the role of the user who requests the application appropriate rendering, the type of application, the end user device, and the data volume. The storing of the application framework in a development language-neutral manner enables a high level of re-use of the application logic in adapting to programming requirements.
