Abstract

A method includes retrieving a page address from a repository based on a user role and an object link and linking to a page based on the page address. The method may include extracting an object ID from the link. The method may also include using a generator to determine the address based on a user role and the object ID. The method further includes recording the user role.

A method includes receiving object link information twice in response to two different invocations of a link and serving two different pages in response to the received link information based on role information associated with a user or users who invoked the link.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

retrieving a page address from a repository based on a user role and an object link; and

linking to a page based on the page address.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein the object link comprises an object type.

3. The method of claim 1 wherein the object link comprises a method type.

4. The method of claim 1 wherein the object link comprises an object identification.

5. The method of claim 2 wherein retrieving a page address comprises retrieving the page address based on the object type.

6. The method of claim 3 wherein retrieving a page address comprises retrieving the page address based on the method type.

7. The method of claim 4 wherein linking to the page comprises linking to the page based on the object identification.

8. The method of claim 1 wherein the object type corresponds to one or more applications.

9. The method of claim 8 wherein the method type corresponds to a single application.

10. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

rendering the page.

11. The method of claim 1 further comprising,

receiving a request to link to the page after a user has activated the object link by selecting the object.

12. The method of claim 1 wherein the object link is accessed on a second page.

13. A method comprising:

receiving object link information twice in response to two different invocations of a link, and

serving two different pages in response to the received link information based on role information associated with a user or users who invoked the link.

14. An apparatus comprising:

a memory that stores executable instructions for linking to a page; and

a processor that executes the instructions to;

retrieve a page address from a repository based on a user role and an object link; and

link to a page based on the page address.

15. The apparatus of claim 14 wherein the object link comprises an object type.

16. The apparatus of claim 14 wherein the object link comprises a method type.

17. The apparatus of claim 14 wherein the object link comprises an object identification.

18. The apparatus of claim 15 wherein the instructions to retrieve a page address comprises retrieving the page address based on the object type.

19. The apparatus of claim 16 wherein the instructions to retrieve a page address comprises retrieving the page address based on the method type.

20. The apparatus of claim 17 wherein the instructions to link to the page comprises linking to the page based on the object identification.

21. The apparatus of claim 14 wherein the object type corresponds to one or more applications.

22. The apparatus of claim 21 wherein the method type corresponds to a single application.

23. The apparatus of claim 14 further comprising the instructions to:

render the page.

24. The apparatus of claim 14 further comprising the instructions to:

receive a request to link to the page after a user has activated the object link by selecting the object link.

25. The apparatus of claim 14 wherein the object link is accessed on a second page.

26. An apparatus comprising:

a memory that stores executable instructions for linking to a page; and

a processor that executes the instructions to;

receive object link information twice in response to two different invocations of a link, and

serve two different pages in response to the received link information based on role information associated with a user or users who invoked the link.

27. An article comprising:

a machine-readable medium that stores executable instructions for linking to a page, the instructions causing a machine to;

retrieve a page address from a repository based on a user role and an object link; and

link to a page based on the page address.

28. The method of claim 27 wherein the object link comprises an object type.

29. The method of claim 27 wherein the object link comprises a method type.

30. The method of claim 27 wherein the object link comprises an object identification.

31. The method of claim 28 wherein the instructions causing a machine to retrieve a page address comprises instructions causing a machine to retrieve the page address based on the object type.

32. The method of claim 29 wherein the instructions causing a machine to retrieve a page address comprises instructions causing a machine to retrieve the page address based on the method type.

33. The method of claim 30 wherein the instructions causing a machine to link to the page comprises instructions causing a machine to linking to the page based on the object identification.

34. The method of claim 27 wherein the object type corresponds to one or more applications.

35. The method of claim 34 wherein the method type corresponds to a single application.

36. The method of claim 27 further comprising instructions causing a machine to:

render the page.

37. The method of claim 27 further comprising instructions causing a machine to:

receive a request to link to the page after a user has activated the object link by selecting the object link.

38. The method of claim 27 wherein the object link is accessed on a second page.

39. A method comprising:

receiving object link information twice in response to two different invocations of a link, and

serving two different pages in response to the received link information based on role information associated with a user or users who invoked the link.
