Abstract

A system for rendering a web page is disclosed. The system comprises a server adapted to communicate with a client. The client operates a browser in communication with the server and is arranged to render material to the browser that an end user may view on the web page. The system also includes a dynamic code set having configuration parameters for use in rendering the web page, wherein the configuration parameters are formed of a first configuration parameter including at least one of combined resources, strategically placed resource tags, headers set to ensure cacheable resources, a GZip file, and minified resources, and a second configuration parameter including at least one of combined resources, strategically placed resource tags, headers set to ensure cacheable resources, a GZip file, and minified resources. A method of creating a web application is disclosed. A machine readable medium is also disclosed.

Claims

1. A system for rendering a web page comprising:

a server adapted to communicate with a client, the client operating a browser in communication with the server and arranged to render material to the browser that an end user may view on the web page;

a dynamic code set having configuration parameters for use in rendering the web page, wherein the configuration parameters are formed of a first configuration parameter including at least one of combined resources, strategically placed resource tags, headers set to ensure cacheable resources, a GZip file, and minified resources, and a second configuration parameter including at least one of combined resources, strategically placed resource tags, headers set to ensure cacheable resources, a GZip file, and minified resources.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the dynamic code set include a plurality of combined resources, said plurality including at least one each of combined resources, strategically placed resource tags, headers set to ensure cacheable resources, and minified resources.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein the dynamic code set is a Servlet.

4. The system of claim 1, wherein the dynamic code set is a function code set.

5. The system of claim 1 wherein a single dynamic code set is provided.

6. The system of claim 1 wherein a web application is provided and includes the dynamic code set.

7. The system of claim 6, wherein the web application is jMaki.

8. The system of claim 1, wherein the dynamic code set is configured to serve cached resources which are kept in memory.

9. The system of claim 1, wherein the combined resources are set to reduce the number of network calls by combining at least one of CSS and JavaScript resources.

10. The system of claim 1, wherein the configuration parameters include headers set to ensure cacheable resources are cached locally by the browser.

11. The system of claim 1, wherein the strategically placed resource tags include strategic placement of CSS and JavaScript tags.

12. A method comprising:

creating a web application for rendering a web page on a client, the application having a client side and a server side;

setting a plurality of predefined configuration parameters in a dynamic code set having configuration parameters for use in rendering the web page, wherein the configuration parameters are formed of a first configuration parameter including at least one of combined resources, strategically placed resource tags, headers set to ensure cacheable resources, a GZip file, and minified resources, and a second configuration parameter including at least one of combined resources, strategically placed resource tags, headers set to ensure cacheable resources, a GZip file, and minified resources;

deploying the web application;

automatically processing the web application using the dynamic code set to produce a performant web application.

13. The method of claim 12, wherein when an end user accesses the web page with the deployed application, the step of automatically processing the web application includes engaging the dynamic code set including the predefined configuration parameters prior to rendering of the web page for the end user.

14. The method of claim 12, wherein the configuration parameters are set to reduce the number of network calls by combining CSS and JavaScript resources.

15. The method of claim 12, wherein the configuration parameters are set to headers which ensure cacheable resources are cached locally by the browser.

16. The method of claim 12, wherein the configuration parameters are set to use minified code.

17. The method of claim 12, wherein the configuration parameters are set to use GZip contents of files.

18. The method of claim 12, wherein the configuration parameters are set by strategic placement of CSS and JavaScript tags.

19. A machine-readable medium comprising:

at least one server and at least one client in communication with the server;

instructions, which, when executed by a machine, cause the machine to render a web page on the client, the instructions including configuration parameters for use in rendering the web page, wherein the configuration parameters are formed of a first configuration parameter including at least one of combined resources, strategically placed resource tags, headers set to ensure cacheable resources, a GZip file, and minified resources, and a second configuration parameter including at least one of combined resources, strategically placed resource tags, headers set to ensure cacheable resources, a GZip file, and minified resources; and

a dynamic code set managing the execution of instructions and facilitating client and server runtime interaction so as to manage resources rendered to the web page.

20. The machine-readable medium of claim 19, wherein the dynamic code set includes and manages activation of the configuration parameters.
