Abstract

A system that generates a visualization user interface. The system receives a selection of a data source, and receives a selection of a visualization template that includes metadata. The system further receives a selection of data attributes corresponding to the data source. The system parses the visualization template for the metadata, and replaces the metadata with binding between a visualization component and the data source. The system then generates the visualization user interface using the visualization component.

Claims

1. A computer readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor generate a visualization user interface, the generating comprising:

receiving a selection of a data source;

receiving a selection of a visualization template, the visualization template comprising metadata;

receiving a selection of data attributes corresponding to the data source;

parsing the visualization template for the metadata, and replacing the metadata with binding between a visualization component and the data source; and

generating the visualization user interface using the visualization component.

2. The computer readable medium of claim 1, wherein the metadata comprises an expression language (EL).

3. The computer readable medium of claim 1, wherein the data source comprises one of a representational state transfer uniform resource locator (REST URL) data or database data.

4. The computer readable medium of claim 3, wherein the REST URL data comprises JavaScript Object Notation or Extensible Markup Language.

5. The computer readable medium of claim 1, wherein the visualization component comprises an Application Development Framework (ADF) task flow.

6. The computer readable medium of claim 5, wherein the replacing the metadata with binding comprises executing an ADF iterator.

7. The computer readable medium of claim 5, wherein the visualization template comprises an attribute binding, a parameter binding, a method binding and an InOut binding.

19. The system of claim 1, wherein the visualization component comprises an Application Development Framework (ADF) task flow.

20. The system of claim 19, wherein the replacing the metadata with binding comprises executing an ADF iterator.

8. A method of generating a visualization user interface, the method comprising:

receiving a selection of a data source;

receiving a selection of a visualization template, the visualization template comprising metadata;

receiving a selection of data attributes corresponding to the data source;

parsing the visualization template for the metadata, and replacing the metadata with binding between a visualization component and the data source; and

generating the visualization user interface using the visualization component.

9. The method of claim 8, wherein the metadata comprises an expression language (EL).

10. The method of claim 8, wherein the data source comprises one of a representational state transfer uniform resource locator (REST URL) data or database data.

11. The method of claim 10, wherein the REST URL data comprises JavaScript Object Notation or Extensible Markup Language.

12. The method of claim 8, wherein the visualization component comprises an Application Development Framework (ADF) task flow.

13. The method of claim 12, wherein the replacing the metadata with binding comprises executing an ADF iterator.

14. The method of claim 12, wherein the visualization template comprises an attribute binding, a parameter binding, a method binding and an InOut binding.

15. A visualization user interface generation system comprising:

a processor;

a storage medium coupled to the processor and storing instructions that when executed by the processor implement modules comprising;

an option selector module that receives a selection of a data source, receives a selection of a visualization template, the visualization template comprising metadata, and receives a selection of data attributes corresponding to the data source;

a metadata parser module that parses the visualization template for the metadata, and replaces the metadata with binding between a visualization component and the data source; and

a visualization generator module that generates the visualization user interface using the visualization component.

16. The system of claim 15, wherein the metadata comprises an expression language (EL).

17. The system of claim 15, wherein the data source comprises one of a representational state transfer uniform resource locator (REST URL) data or database data.

18. The system of claim 17, wherein the REST URL data comprises JavaScript Object Notation or Extensible Markup Language.
