Data processing methods, systems and computer programs
First Claim
1. A data processing method, comprising the steps of:
- entering data values into respective data entry fields of an electronic data entry form of a first computer;
entering an identifier of a web service into the first computer;
initiating a data processing stage on the basis of the data values entered into the electronic data entry form of the first computer;
sending signalling data for signalling at least one of scheduling, initiation, performance, and completion of the data processing stage to a web service; and
sending a result of the data processing step to a third computer, the third computer being coupled to the web service.

Abstract
Methods, systems and computer programs are provided for processing data in a web service environment. In accordance with one embodiment, a data processing method is provided that comprises: entering data values into respective data entry fields of an electronic data entry form of a first computer; entering an identifier of a web service into the first computer; initiating a data processing stage to be performed by a second computer on the basis of the data values entered into the electronic data entry form by the first computer; sending signalling data for signalling initiation of the data processing stage to a web service; and sending a result of the data processing stage to a third computer, the third computer being coupled to the web service.

14. A data processing system comprising:
-
a first computer for entering data values into respective data entry fields of an electronic data entry form and for entering an identifier of a web service, the first computer comprising means for initiation of a data processing stage to be performed on the basis of the data values entered into the electronic data entry form;
a second computer for performing the data processing stage and sending a result of the data processing stage to a third computer; and
a web service coupled to the third computer, the web service being adapted to receive signalling data that signals at least one of scheduling, initiation and completion of the data processing stage. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
