A method and system for implementing on-line financial institution services via a single physical and logical platform deploys global online banking applications in an environment in which the applications are built from a single source base and adapted to various business rules and languages associated with different regions, countries and businesses. Separate web apps are created for each individual business according to contextual attributes, and application servers running the context dependent web apps provide the interface between customers and banking functionality. The platform relies in part on reuse of appropriate components to achieve integration, as well as sharing of core services. As a result of the independent nature of business specific components, each business may require different versions of application software and may update or implement new components without affecting existing business components.

A method and apparatus for transporting data for a data warehousing application. Data is extracted from one or more source containing data having a standard data structure and is translated into data that contains meaningful business terms. The translated data is then stored. In the present embodiment, an analytic business component is operable for extracting data from the source, translating the extracted data and for storing the translated data into a staging area. The translated data is then processed to obtain data having a common structure. In the present embodiment, a source adapter processes the translated data to obtain data having a common structure. The data having a common structure is then transformed into a format suitable for loading into a data mart. In the present embodiment, an analytic data interface receives the data having a common structure and transforms the data for loading into a data warehouse. The data is then stored in a data warehouse.

A batch component model is provided within a distributed object environment. The batch component is designed to capture the iterative logic of a batch program as it reads from one or more input streams, invokes operations on other business component functions, and generates output to one or more output streams. Deployment descriptors express declarative policies for the component that will influence how the component is managed including the streams it uses, business components it depends on, how processing costs are accounted for, the resource demands the job will put on the system, and the like. Input streams and output streams are encapsulated in objects that hide the actual source of input and output data so that the component can be redeployed in different execution environments to different physical data sources without requiring the program to be changed. A batch container enforces the deployment policies declared for the batch component.
