Problems solved by technology

However, traditional data binding techniques have proven awkward and difficult for programmers to control and implement.
Despite these improvements, data binding still proves to be a bottleneck for more rapid application development, especially for beginner programmers who are not comfortable writing the script or code needed to implement data binding.

Embodiment Construction

[0023] The workflow data binding system will now be described with respect to various embodiments. The following description provides specific details for a thorough understanding of, and enabling description for, these embodiments of the workflow data binding system. However, one skilled in the art will understand that the workflow data binding system may be practiced without these details. In other instances, well-known structures and functions have not been shown or described in detail to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the description of the embodiments of the workflow data binding system.

[0024] It is intended that the terminology used in the description presented be interpreted in its broadest reasonable manner, even though it is being used in conjunction with a detailed description of certain specific embodiments of the workflow data binding system. Certain terms may even be emphasized below; however, any terminology intended to be interpreted in any restricted manner will be o...

Abstract

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.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION(S) [0001] This patent application claims the benefit of commonly owned U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60 / 800,056, filed on May 12, 2006, entitled “Data Binding For Workflow,” which is incorporated herein in its entirety by reference. This patent application also incorporates by reference the following commonly owned patent applications: U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60 / 532,776, filed Dec. 24, 2003, Canadian Patent Application No. 2,443,454, entitled “Data Binding Method in Workflow System,” filed Sep. 11, 2003, and U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10 / 938,118, entitled “User-Friendly Data Binding, Such As Drag-And-Drop Data Binding In A Workflow Application,” filed on Sep. 10, 2004.BACKGROUND [0002] In the context of applications software development, the practice of data binding addresses the common need for an application to access data stored in an independent data source. Generally, data binding involves retrievi...
