Systems and methods consistent with the invention create a model of a configurable business application that is compatible with an integrated development environment. The tools available in the integrated development environment (IDE) may be used as an integrated business application configuration environment (ICE) to analyze and change the configuration of the business application model while providing scope visualization, context visualization, object-interrelation analysis, error detection, and other benefits and features that an integrated environment provides for program code development. The reconfigured business application model may then be transformed into structures for the business application, so that the implemented changes to the model are applied to the actual business application.

The invention is directed to a method which derives from metadata definitions the allowable values for a method argument, where said allowable values are a subset or a restricted set of values from a defined range of values for that type of method argument. The subset of allowable values is then converted into a fragment of source code that can be used to initialise the argument variable with one of the allowable values when the method is invoked. The fragment of source code is inserted into the source code for that method argument using an editor tool. A system for implementing the method may comprise an integrated development environment (IDE) program.

Therefore, users can quickly searching and loading new functions.

A workflow data binding system facilitates binding of a data component to a feature of a software component. Prior to the binding, a graphical indication of the software component and a graphical indication of the feature of the software component are displayed. In addition, an indication of an element of the data component is displayed in a display area approximately adjacent to the displayed software component. The workflow data binding system receives a user input command to bind the data component to the feature of the software component. The user input command may include dragging the indication of an element of the data component from the data component display area to the feature of the software component and subsequently dropping it on the feature. As a result, the workflow data binding system automatically generates script or code that provides executable instructions to bind the feature of the software component to the data component.

A DTD-compliant XML document editor is disclosed. The XML document editor generates hints for required elements and required element slots automatically in the process of document creation and edition so as to guide the user to produce a valid document, while syntactic violations are avoided at the same time. The editor also suggests optional elements that may be added into the document to be edited. The user requires no knowledge about XML and DTD to edit DTD-compliant XML documents. The editing process is user-interface-neutral, being able to support user interfaces based on tree views, presentation views and forms. By combining the DTD-compliant editing process with the simplicity of forms, a simple XML document editor with forms as its user interface is developed.

The data processing may add data security functionality.

In response to programmer input of a trigger token, a program editor creates a pair of boundary tokens encapsulating an embedded lexical context and positions an insertion point within the embedded lexical context. The operations on the embedded lexical context are preferably performed using an embeddable sub-editor specialized to the task at hand. Since boundary tokens are generated in pairs, stability of lexical boundaries is enforced. Accordingly, stable implementations of certain desirable behaviors, including language-oriented advanced program typography that is robust to user edits, are facilitated using the invented techniques.

Enhancing dynamic code. A method includes obtaining one or more first data structures defining constructs in a body of dynamic language source code. From the one or more first data structures, identifier information is extracted for one or more of the defined constructs. Knowledge about the constructs is augmented. Using the identifier information and augmented knowledge, metadata about the body of the dynamic language source code is generated. The generated metadata is represented as a symbol table. The body of dynamic language source code is visually enhanced based on the symbol table structure.

A code assistance feature provides a user with a set of suggested program code insertions at a given point in the program code being edited. For example, in response to a user command, the feature identifies syntactically correct possible insertions derived from a search for insertions of a compatible type.
