Abstract

A system comprises a data specifying builder to define a data model with specification stored in a repository usable for a customizable application, a process designing builder to define user interfaces and processes of the customizable application which include specified functions to access and manipulate data created by the data specifying builder, and an application deploying executor to generate application components using the data model designed by the process builder.

Claims

1. A system comprising:

a data specifying builder to define a data model with specification stored in a repository usable for a customizable application;

a process designing builder to define user interfaces and processes of said customizable application which include specified functions to access and manipulate data created by said data specifying builder; and

an application deploying executor to generate application components using said data model designed by said process builder.

2. The system as claimed in claim 1, wherein said data specifying builder comprises a drawer module for defining said data model to create database for said customizable application.

3. The system as claimed in claim 2, wherein said database is created not limited to identifying name at a schema, specifying driver to be used and the connection string which points to an Internet Protocol address of a database location.

4. The system as claimed in claim 2, wherein said drawer module further comprises the functions of performing syntactic validation and drawing windows for the user.

5. The system as claimed in claim 1, wherein said process designing builder comprises a user interface engine module for identifying user interface for user to interact with the system to create application components of the customizable application.

6. The system as claimed in claim 5, wherein said user interface engine module includes templates for user in specifying requirements with the data model using the drag and drop paradigm with no code generation and therefore there is no compilation of code, no source code control, no huge migration effort and no balancing act between design and runtime.

7. The system as claimed in claim 6, wherein said interface engine module is in connection with said drawer module via Simple Object Access Protocol.

8. The system as claimed in claim 7, wherein said interface engine module translates information from repository, converts them into a suitable language and passes them to said drawer module

9. The system as claimed in claim 5, wherein said process designing builder further comprises a unit for defining events and actions for the customizable application, where a group of actions and events can be grouped together to form a local or global function.

10. The system as claimed in claim 9, wherein said process designing builder further comprises a unit for defining business rules for the customizable application.

11. The system as claimed in claim 10, wherein said business rules include rules which apply to database fields where a status can only have certain permitted values;

and rules which apply to user interface controls where a value in one field must be greater than another.

12. The system as claimed in claim 10, wherein said process designing builder further comprises a unit for defining plug-ins for user to write events which are not pre-defined.

13. The system as claimed in claim 1, wherein said application deploying executor comprises a business object layer to perform business logic on the data and data access layer to interact with said database engine for data transaction.

14. The system as claimed in claim 13, wherein said business object layer is in connection with said user interface engine via Remote Method Invocation.

15. The system as claimed in claim 13, wherein said data access layer is in connection with said business object layer via Remote Method Invocation.

16. The system as claimed in claim 14, wherein said data access layer is in connection with said database engine via Java Database Connectivity.

17. The system as claimed in claim 13, wherein said application deploying executor supports database and service oriented and interactive applications which able to run on web and desktop applications as well as multi-tiered environment on the web and the desktop and on virtually any platform.

18. The system as claimed in claim 17, wherein said application deploying executor is also applicable to other mobile devices.

19. The system as claimed in claim 18, wherein said application deploying executor further comprises a unit for providing security access and audit controls for end user.

20. The system as claimed in claim 1, wherein said system further comprises a language and reporting tool which has multi-lingual capability and report can be made available to management and other users of the system.
