Web server system, dictionary system, dictionary call method, screen control display method, and demonstration application generation method

Abstract

Provided is a web server system which enables the display format of one and the same item displayed on a screen to be dynamically changed into different contents according to different levels, for example, on a web-site-by-web-site basis or on a screen-by-screen basis. According to a typical embodiment, a dictionary system which provides dictionary data to a web server system comprises: a plurality of kinds of dictionary tables which have a hierarchical structure in which regarding the range of application of the dictionary data, one having a wider range of application is ranked higher; and a dictionary processing unit which acquires the dictionary data corresponding to a designated key from the designated dictionary table. The dictionary processing unit accepts a designation about whether to refer to the dictionary table at any level when the dictionary data is acquired from the dictionary table, and when the dictionary data corresponding to the designated key is not present in the dictionary table at the designated level, sequentially inquires of the higher-level dictionary table about whether to have the dictionary data corresponding to the key.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an efficient technology applied to the development technology of an application in a Web server system. Background technique [0002] Against the background of the development of IT technology and the globalization of business, etc., the necessity of making Web sites and Web applications compatible with multiple languages ​​is increasing. As a method of realizing access to Web sites and Web applications based on multiple language environments, for example, the following conventionally adopted methods have been proposed in which separate content translated in each language is prepared in advance for the same content, These contents are automatically or manually selected and used according to the language environment used by the user. In addition, various techniques for multilingual support in applications have been proposed. [0003] For example, Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2003-44474 (Patent Document 1)...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Therefore, for example, when there are a plurality of service providers who provide services on different Web sites using this system, it is impossible to display different contents corresponding to each Web site for the same item in the same language environment (that is, for each Web site). Different dictionary data should be set according to the item)

In addition, even within the same Web site, there are cases where you want to display different content on each screen for the same item

[0024] That is to say, in a large-scale system, the subjects of the management dictionary, such as common framework-level items in the system, common items of each subsystem, and screen-specific items, are mostly different. In a large dictionary, management is cumbersome and time-consuming to change. There are more cases like this

In addition, when the dictionaries are divided and refined according to the management subject, it is difficult for each developer of the Web application to know which dictionary to refer to.
