First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of generating servlet program code, to reduce input parameter interface error, comprising:
- receiving a form description file for a form configured to be served by a server;
automatically parsing said form description file to discover input parameters for gathering information in the form; and
automatically generating said servlet program code to receive said input parameters.

Abstract
A GUI utility tool running on a web application development environment is presented that acts to eliminate inconsistency between a given HTML user input form description file and a corresponding servlet program file. The tool allows the user to specify an HTML file. The tool may then parse the HTML file to discover input parameters and generate Java servlet program code to receive the input parameters.

11. A computer readable medium containing computer-executable instructions that, when performed by a processor in a servlet development environment, cause the processor to:
-
receive a form description file for a form configured to be served by a server;
automatically parse said form description file to discover input parameters for gathering information in the form; and
automatically generate servlet program code to receive said input parameters.

12. A method of synchronizing files comprising:
-
determining a first value for a time stamp on a form description file for a form configured to be served by a server;
determining a second value for a time stamp on a servlet program file having been generated to receive input parameters for gathering information in the form, the input parameters having been discovered by automatically parsing the form description file;
comparing said first value to said second value; and
if said comparing indicates that said form description file was edited more recently than said servlet program file, generating an alarm.
