Provided is a system and method for easily packaging and exchanging complex information such as that contained in a database in the form of objects and attached documents. The invention may include a server configured to create a viewer package containing data and viewer code that allows a client computer to read data within the viewer package. The viewer code provides a client computer with the ability to perform functions that are as robust and as useful to common functions of a database for viewing, consuming and manipulating data. The data to be accessed may be formatted in one or more universal formats so that a user opening the viewer package can access the data, independent of the medium onto which it is received.

A platform independent model for exchanging information among numerous entities in a justice system with diverse system components is implemented in a hub and spoke arrangement. Each spoke includes a software agent that communicates with a system component of an entity of the justice system, translates from a common communication format to a communication format of the system component, and manages the timing of the flow of information to/from the system component. The hub includes an information broker that communicates with each agent in the common communication format, determines what information is needed by which entity, and routes the needed information to/from respective agents for the entities that need the information. The platform independent model includes a plurality of traceable and linked UML models that define the information broker from a business use case model through to a platform independent solution model for implementation on a given solution platform. Since these UML models are readily modifiable and traceable for changes to the justice system, they facilitate implementation of the system in a cost-effective manner from one customer to the next without requiring system redesign.

A scaleable graphical user interface system utilizes a device platform independent model to provide dynamic layout of graphical user interface widgets migrated between any of a plurality of heterogeneous device platforms. The device platform independent model includes at least one platform independent graphical user interface widget. Based on the device platform independent model, platform specific graphical user interface widgets that correspond to each of the platform independent graphical user interface widgets may be laid out on a page and compared to the size of a display screen of a heterogeneous device platform. Where the page does not fit within the display screen, the platform independent graphical user interface widgets may be dynamically rearranged within the page to fit the display screen. In addition, where designated as splitable, the platform independent graphical user interface widgets may be split among multiple pages of a presentation to fit within the display screen.

A method, apparatus, and system for providing a reliable message adapter generation tool are described. As a method, a first partner schema for the business message and a second partner schema for the business message are first loaded and displayed. A first partner schema link is selected as a current first partner schema link and a second partner schema link is selected as a current second partner schema link. If it is determined that the current first partner schema link correlates to the current second partner schema then the current first partner schema link and the current second partner schema link are link. If there is no correlation, then next links are recursively selected.

A method for cross-platform porting of applications includes extracting one or more platform independent models from an existing one or more composite applications running on a given source platform. These platform independent models are then transformed into implementation artifacts on another, target platform, thereby effectively porting the composite application from one platform to another. The generated implementation artifacts on the target platform leverage existing assets in the target environment, which makes these generated artifacts “contextually-aware”.

Yet another aspect of the present invention includes an integrated generator that generates the strongly typed components and skeleton code from the platform independent models by applying best practice pattern usage for the target platform currently used with the system library functions.

Embodiments of the present invention relate to the implementation of an Application Programming Interface (API) that enables platform independent plug-ins to work with browser applications. In one or more embodiments of the present invention, the API allows platform independent plug-ins to use XPCOM (Cross Platform Component Object Model), a technology that allows software components of different various programming languages to communicate. In one or more embodiments of the present invention, the API enables platform independent plug-ins to take advantage of existing BlackConnect and Scriptable Plug-In API technologies to integrate with the native plug-in API. Embodiments of the present invention ensures backward code compatibility by allowing the current platform independent plug-in API and browser API to remain unchanged. Furthermore, embodiments of the present invention enables platform independent plug-ins to communicate and use components created in native programming languages such as C++. This promotes component reuse and eases the development effort.

Methods and apparatus for a platform independent object to bind to and access platform dependent software are disclosed. According to one aspect of the present invention, a software object that includes a wrapper and an associated platform dependent software. The platform independent object calls the wrapper. The wrapper, in turn, directly calls the associated platform dependent method. In this way, a platform independent object accesses the platform dependent method by directly calling the wrapper associated with the method.
