Embodiment Construction

[0013] The tools and techniques described herein may be beneficial in addressing problems caused by synchronous and / or asynchronous responses to data requests. Embodiments described herein are directed to techniques and tools for improving the interaction between data sources and their clients through a project manager. Such improvements can be obtained through the use of various techniques and tools alone or in combination.

[0014] An item manager is a module that can perform operations such as relaying requests and responses between clients and data sources for data representation items and the data items represented by those data representation items, and generating (possibly utilizing a or more renderers) and return the placeholder to the client. The item manager can also change formats between data items received from the data source and data representation items provided to the client. For example, an item manager may use one or more renderers to generate rendered dat...

Abstract

The present invention relates to placeholders returned for data representation items. One or more requests for data representation items may be received by the item manager from the client. A data representation item may represent a data item in a data source. In response, the item manager may perform the following actions: generate a placeholder corresponding to the data representation item; return the placeholder to the client; obtain the data item from the data source; provide the data representation item to the client; The placeholders are to be replaced with data representation items. The item manager can determine whether each data representation item can be synchronously returned to the client. If so, the item manager may synchronously return the data representation item and may forego providing the client with a placeholder for the data representation item. This allows clients to interact with a single interface to both synchronous and asynchronous data sources.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of computing, and more particularly to a computer-implemented method for project management responsive to requests for data representation projects. Background technique [0002] Software applications and software components such as user interface controls (i.e., self-contained reusable user interface components) can act as clients of data sources, which can include local data sources or remote data sources reached over a computer network . Some data sources, such as local data sources, can respond to data requests synchronously. In other words, such a response to a data request takes less than a certain response time threshold, which is typically low enough that presentation of the response can appear to be in real time with the corresponding request. For example, such a response may take on the order of tens of milliseconds or less. Other data sources, such as remote data sources, can respond asynchronous...
