Abstract
A system and method for developing an application for subsequent deployment on a mobile device, the mobile device configured for using the deployed application to communicate over a network with a data source through a transaction server. The system and method comprising: an interface component module for providing access to a defined interface component for use in providing communication between the application and a local software configured to be resident on the mobile device; and a composer module for defining a text file containing definitions expressed in a structured definition language, the definitions describing a message section and a data section and a user interface section of the application, the composer module further for inserting handler definitions in the text file such that the handler definitions are configured for calling the interface component of the interface component module.

24. An application development tool for developing an application for subsequent deployment on a mobile device in a wireless network, the wireless network comprises a middleware server, a data source, the data source communicating with the middleware server and the application development tool via a defined interface, the application development tool comprising:
-
a communication interface defining communication between the application, the middleware server, and the data source via the defined interface; a user interface layer including an editor and a viewer; a model layer defining data models representing a persistent state of the application, the model layer providing for the user interface layer to respond to changes in the model layer; and a service layer providing facilities to the user interface layer. - View Dependent Claims (25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39)

40. A method for developing an application for subsequent deployment on a mobile device in a wireless network, the wireless network comprises a middleware server, a data source, the data source communicating with the middleware server and the application development tool via a defined interface, the method comprising:
-
defining communication between the application, the middleware server, and the data source through a communication interface of an application development tool, the application development tool further comprising a user interface layer including an editor and a viewer; defining data models representing a persistent state of the application in a model layer of the application development tool, the model layer providing for the user interface layer to respond to changes in the model layer; and providing facilities to the user interface layer through a service layer of the application development tool. - View Dependent Claims (41, 42, 43)
