Abstract
A method of in-line processing of standardized text values. A standardization utility defines multiple standardization rules in response to user input from a graphical user interface (GUI). The standardization rules correspond to text and integer data in a database. The standardization utility generates a JAVA class template for each data model object that requires standardization. The standardization utility generates public methods for each data attribute that corresponds to a standardization rule and converts the public methods into JAVA code. The standardization utility compiles the JAVA code into multiple helper classes and stores the helper classes within a JAVA Archive (JAR) file in the library path of applications that input text into the database. The standardization utility assigns a tracking number to each new helper class. The standardization utility loads the helper classes into JAVA Virtual Machines (JVMs) that are accessible to applications capable of inputting data into the database.
