System and method for unified visualization of two-tiered applications
First Claim
1. A method for programming a two-tiered application comprising:
- providing a unifying data structure defining a unifying data model for programming application components for each tier of the two-tiered application;
providing an application development tool having a graphical user interface (“
GUI”
) for programming the two-tiered application, said GUI visualizing the two-tiered application as a single logical application in accordance with the unifying data model;
receiving user input via the GUI; and
defining said application components in response to user input and the unifying data model.

Abstract
An application generation environment coordinates development of component-based two-tiered applications using a unifying data model comprising an interconnected model of objects. The data model unifies the two-tiered application to present a single logical application for visualisation and for programming using a graphical user interface. The data model transparently programs tiers of the application in response to user input to program the single logical application. Application components are generated for execution within a two-tiered execution environment such as a client device (e.g. a wireless mobile device) and a gateway server providing a stateful proxy with which to access services or a remote data source via a network. The application components may by generated with marks to denote portions thereof for execution within the respective tiers of the two-tiered execution environment.

8. A system for programming a two-tiered application, the system comprising:
a processor and a memory storing instructions and data to configure the processor to provide;
a modeling module for defining application components for each tier of the two-tiered application in accordance with a unifying data model;
a graphical user interface (“
GUI”
) for programming the two-tiered application, said GUI visualizing the two-tiered application as a single logical application in accordance with the unifying data model and in response to user input received using said GUI to program said single logical application, said unifying data model transparently determining which tier to program.- View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13)
