An integrated product data environment for system design and optimization, e.g., a Collaborative Engineering Environment (CEE). The CEE provides a multi-disciplinary engineering team with immediate access to all relevant product information. It is an enterprise system at the program as well as the company levels, managing product information as a program and corporate asset. Product-centric collaborative capabilities for the CEE are provided by extending the functionality of a commercial Product Data Management (PDM) System. Emerging web-centric commercial-off-tho-shelf (COTS) PDM capabilities, object-oriented technologies, associated rapid application development environments, sophisticated engineering toolsets, and COTS computing and communications technologies have been leveraged to establish the CEE for the complex electronic systems integration domain. The CEE offers substantial improvements in productivity, cost savings, cycle time reductions, product integrity and lifetime support of a system.

Enhanced compiled representation of transformation formats to enable rapid application development and deployment is described. Techniques for partitioning data in a transformation include populating a table with a functoid associated with a functoid tree root, traversing the table and generating a page object corresponding to a page number found in the functoid, and instantiating the functoid in the page objects. A system for partitioning data in a transformation is also described, including a memory configured to store a table with a functoid associated with a functoid tree root, and a processor configured to traverse the table and generate a page object corresponding to a page number found in the functoid, and instantiate the functoid in the page object corresponding to the page number.

A web widget component is provided for hosting web widgets. The web widget component may be added to an application or another user interaction environment via a rapid application development tool. Web widgets may be added to the web widget component by a designer of the component, a developer (i.e., a person utilizing the rapid application development tool to build the user interaction environment), or may be added by a user of the web widget component in a declarative manner. Security settings control access to web widgets, and an option to allow or restrict access to web widget display options in the component.

A widget host container serves as a component that may be added via a rapid application development tool, such as Oracle International Corporation's Application Development Framework. The rapid application development tool may be used to install the widget host container, for example, in a region of a user interaction environment, such as an application or a suite of user interactive applications, created by the rapid application development tool. If desired, one or more selection devices, such as a drop down menu, may be provided to select particular widgets for use and display. Features may be provided for organizing both personal and enterprise widgets. Security settings control access to web widgets, and an option to allow or restrict access to web widget display options in the container.

An emulator for hosting desktop widgets. The emulator mimics the functions of a desktop widget engine. The emulator serves as a user interface component that may be added via a rapid application development tool, such as Oracle International Corporation's Application Development Framework. The rapid application development tool may be used to install the emulator, for example, in a region of a user interaction environment or an application created by the rapid application development tool. If desired, multiple options may be provided in terms of regions to provide the emulator. In addition, one or more selection devices, such as a drop down menu, may be provided to select particular desktop widgets for use and display. Tabbed pages may be provided on a display for the emulator for organizing both personal and enterprise desktop widgets. Security settings control access to widgets, and an option to allow or restrict access to widget display options in the emulator.

A computer readable storage medium includes executable instructions to invoke a rapid application development graphical user interface to define fields associated with a set of objects. The creation of new objects derived from the set of objects is facilitated using the rapid application development graphical user interface to select existing fields of the set of objects and define new object fields. Tabs are associated with the new objects. A set of tabs is selected to create a new application.

Enhanced compiled representation of transformation formats to enable rapid application development and deployment is described. Techniques for data transformation include receiving a transformation specification, generating an object model using a schema, and transforming the transformation specification into an application-specific document using the object model. A system for data transformation is also described, including a memory configured to receive a transformation specification, and a processor configured to generate an object model using a schema and transform the transformation specification into an application-specific document using the object model. Another system for data transformation includes a compiler configured to receive a transformation specification and generate a hierarchical transformation object model using a schema, and a rendering engine configured to generate an object model from the hierarchical transformation object model, generating an application-specific object model.

A method for developing and executing a web application to be used in a data processing system. The method includes instantiating an object in a memory, the object associated with a first web page of the web application. The method also includes displaying the first web page to an end user. The method further includes receiving at least one update to the first web page from a web browser of the end user. The method still further includes storing the at least one update to the first web page in the object. The method also includes displaying a second web page to the end user. The method further includes re-displaying the first web page based on the at least one update to the object.

Embodiments relate to systems and methods for application development using middleware. A developer can launch a development request from a client or local network to a remote development server, thereby invoking a set of frameworks and other tools to carry out a desired application build. The development request can specify the type or configuration of the desired application, such as, for example, email, spreadsheet, media playback, or other applications, along with parameters such as target operating systems. The user can assemble desired code from libraries stored in the virtualized middleware framework, and debug the application build against a set of data sources aggregated by the development server. A developer can therefore leverage rapid application development tools at the middleware, without a necessity to invest in local development tools or separately build or locate test data sources.

The invention provides component-based ISMTA (Technology Architecture of "Internet & Smart Manufacturing") which is portable and reusable, and data uplink and downlink basic processes in the ISMTA. Moreover, on the basis of software engineering basic principles and software hierarchical basic ideas, common knowledge elements of each part of the technology architecture in the ISMTA are abstracted and instanced; portable and reusable analysis are provided for each part of the technology architecture; and software and hardware templates are provided for rapid application development.

Computer users frequently need to search for items, such as inventory, based on specific criteria. The specific criteria used are often dependent upon the task they are performing. For example, if they are looking for books they may search by ‘title’. If they are looking for cars they may look by ‘engine type’. This invention allows a user to create the search screens (with places to enter the values for the pertinent fields) automatically by the use of a software wizard. This invention extracts information about the database, and then creates the steps necessary for the person creating the search screen to create it. The person creating the search screen can control what fields the search screen user will be able to search on, how the data will be filtered and/or manipulated, how it will be formatted, and how it will be presented. This provides a tremendous productivity boost to the search screen user, since much of the filtering and decision-making will have been done before hand. Also, by using a wizard to allow the rapid creation of searches, the door is opened for ‘rapid application development.’ This allows non-programmers the ability to create, rapidly deploy, test and refine their own searches.

A security privilege view object instance. The security privilege view object instance provides security at the view object instance level, permitting multiple application modules to utilize a single entity object with different data privileges. In an embodiment, a view object implementation method is overridden to add selected security filters at instantiation of a view object instance.

A gamification application development system. The system has specialized game development toolbars and a suite of tools. The tools are used to create gamification of continuing education training and are adapted to be used by individuals who are not game designers.
