Abstract

According to one aspect of the present invention, a system is provided for implementing caching of view custom options in a framework to support web-based applications. The system comprising a set of server-side objects managed by an object manager (OM) running on a server. The system further comprises a set of browser-side objects running on a browser running on a client. The system also comprises a remote procedure call (RPC) mechanism to enable re-targeting of methods from browser-side objects to server-side objects. The system additionally comprises a notification mechanism to facilitate transmission of notifications from server-side objects to browser-side objects. The system also comprises a cache on the client to store custom options of views, wherein each view is a display panel consisting of a particular arrangement of applets.

Claims

1. A system, comprising:

a set of server-side objects managed by an object manager (OM) running on a server;

a set of browser-side objects running on a browser running on a client;

a remote procedure call (RPC) mechanism to enable re-targeting of methods from browser-side objects to server-side objects;

a notification mechanism to facilitate transmission of notifications from server-side objects to browser-side objects; and

a cache on the client to store custom options of views, wherein each view is a display panel consisting of a particular arrangement of applets.
