Framework for a composite application and a method of implementing a frame work for a composite application
First Claim
1. A framework (200, 300) for a composite application, the framework (200, 300) including:
- an object access layer (210, 330) operable to exchange data with a plurality of enterprise base systems (290a, b . . . z, 390a, b . . . z) and to present the data to a composite application through a uniform interface;
a business object modelling layer (146, 410) including a business object modeller (146, 410) operable to provide a user interface for constructing a business object;
the framework (200, 300) further including;
a service layer (220, 340) operable to provide services to the composite application, wherein the service layer (220, 340) includes a collaboration services module (344) operable to provide a plurality of collaboration services to the composite application, wherein the object modelling layer (146, 410) is operable to directly link at least one of the plurality of collaboration services associated with the business object to the business object.

9. A method of implementing a composite application in a framework (200, 300), the method comprising:
-
accessing (210, 330) an object to exchange data with a plurality of enterprise base systems (290a, b . . . z, 390a, b . . . z) and to present the data to a composite application through a uniform interface;
modelling (146, 410) a business object to provide a user interface for constructing a business object;
providing services (220, 340) to the composite application;
wherein the providing services step includes providing a plurality of collaboration services (344) to the composite application, wherein the modelling step (146, 410) includes directly linking at least one of the plurality of collaboration services associated with the business object to the business object. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
