Automatically generating source code for relating a dialog interface with a business object in a computing application
First Claim
1. A method for automatically generating source code for relating a dialog interface with a business object in a computing application, comprising the steps of:
- receiving at least one dialog and control configuration;
receiving at least one calling interface object configuration; and
automatically generating source code in response to the received dialog and control configuration and the calling interface object configuration to relate the dialog interface with the business object.

Abstract
A method and a system (10) are provided for generating source code (28) for relating a dialog interface with a business object in a computing application. The system (10) includes a memory (14, 18) operable to store an attribute definition file (16). An interface (12) is coupled to the memory (14, 18). The interface (12) allows a user of the system (10) to create an application configuration file (19) from the attribute definition file (16). A processor (24), which is coupled to the memory (14, 18) and the interface (12), automatically generates source code (28) in response to the application configuration file (19) to relate the dialog interface with the business object. The method is performed on a computer system, such as the system (10) of the present invention. The method includes receiving configuration information specifying a relationship between at least one interface object and at least one business object which is represented by the interface object. Source code is automatically generated from the configuration information. The source code relates the interface object with the business object.
