Methods and apparatus for variable document printing are disclosed in which a graphical user interface is configured to allow user manipulation of layout rules associated with content containers within a template for variable document generation. One method involves laying out (626) container objects (407, 408) forming part of a template (624) intended for a variable data document. The objects each have a rectangular boundary in two-dimensional space, and the method comprises detecting an operation (628, 2800) to modify a position of at least one edge of at least one of the objects. Then, rules of association between edges of the objects having a corresponding orientation to the one edge are identified. A position of at least the one edge is then modified whilst observing the rules of association between all the correspondingly oriented edges. Finally an objective function derived from the rules of association between the correspondingly oriented edges is minimized (3009) to thereby balance a layout of the objects in at least the dimension of modification. Other methods involve maintaining the objective function for a group of edges, the addition and removal of constraints in respect of correspondingly oriented edges, the removal, addition and then removal of constraints in modifying the width of a container, the calculation of text container sizes, and the creation of tables, particularly for text containers.

A system and method for managing a scalable list of items for display in a display device of a small footprint device. A client program running in a small footprint device may instantiate a “list container object” and add “list item data objects” to the list container object. The list container object may instantiate a fixed number of “item renderer objects”, which are responsible for appropriately displaying the list item data objects. Each item renderer object may correspond to a row in the displayed list. The list container object interfaces with the set of item renderer objects, in order to manage the display of the list. In one embodiment, the item renderer objects are instances of a class that supports an “item renderer interface” that includes methods for interacting with the item renderer objects. Thus, a general framework is described in which any of various types of objects may be displayed, by implementing the item renderer interface methods appropriately for different item renderer object implementations. The list container object may keep track of the set of list item data objects being displayed at any given time. As a user interacts with the list, e.g., by scrolling up or down, the list container object may receive method calls or user interface events indicating the user's action, may determine the new start index for items to display, and may instruct each item renderer object to redisplay the appropriate list item data object, e.g., by calling an item renderer interface method for each item renderer object, passing the corresponding list item data object as a parameter.

Using stream-based change flow models to propagate source code file changes within a software configuration management system can begin with the detection of the addition of a source code file, either a new file or new version, to a software configuration management system by a change flow manager. The source code file can then be related to a component based upon the hierarchical placement of the source code file within the filesystem. Stream-based change flow models that contain the component can be identified. Change flow relationships within a stream-based change flow model can define the propagation of changes between streams (an aggregate of components) and / or components. Authorization from a human agent can be requested to initiate propagation of the source code file. Upon receipt of an affirmative response, the source code file can be automatically copied to the container objects that correspond to the identified recipients for changes.

A method and system for efficiently controlling the execution of actions in an object oriented program. An observable object is defined which responds to a predetermined number of abstract events, each abstract event corresponding to an action slot container object which is associated with the observable object. New abstract events may be defined at execution and a corresponding new action slot container object associated with the observable object at that time. One or more action objects which each specify a unit of behavior are then defined and placed within the action slot container objects such that the occurrence of a corresponding abstract event may initiate the occurrence of multiple units of behavior. Separate subclasses of action objects are also defined, each subclass specifying a manner in which the specified unit of behavior will be implemented. In this manner, methods, scripts, procedures, and other abstract events may be initiated in response to an execution of an action object and a determination of the subclass to which that action object belongs.

Described herein are systems and methods for storage and deployment of VMs in a virtual server environment. A VM deployment module executing on a server may produce VM container objects representing VMs, a VM container object comprising VM data describing a VM and vdisk configuration data. The VM deployment module may also later produce VMs on a server using the VM container objects. The VM deployment module may do so by producing a vdisk from a VM container object, the vdisk comprising the VM and vdisk configuration data. Rather than configuring the vdisk as typically done to make the vdisk useable to the server, the vdisk configuration data is used to make the vdisk useable and the VM data on the vdisk immediately accessible to the server. As such, the VM data may be immediately read to produce a VM on the server, thus providing rapid deployment of VMs.
