22. An interface method, comprising:
-
transmitting first computer-readable program code to a computer, said first computer-readable program code enabling said compute to render a user interface that enables a user to define a mapping between a plurality of fields in a user interface template and a respective plurality of columns in one or more tables in a database; and
storing said mapping in a repository, said stored mapping being retrievable during runtime to dynamically generate a user interface component. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24, 25, 26)

28. A computer program product comprising:
-
computer-readable program code for causing a computer to retrieve a user interface template that defines at least part of a layout of fields or a user interface component;
computer-readable program code for causing a computer to retrieve a mapping between a plurality of fields in said user interface template and a respective plurality of columns in one or more tables in a database;
computer-readable program code for causing a computer to render a user interface component in accordance with said retrieved user interface template, said rendered user interface component including a field that is associated with a particular column of a database in accordance with said retrieved mapping; and
a computer-usable medium configured to store the computer-readable program codes.
