Abstract

A method and system for providing a web platform configured to assist in a development of a web application. The method includes developing a core layer of a web development software stack including first bundles organized into a first bundle group by an underlying web framework, developing a ket layer of the web development software stack including second bundles organized into the first bundle group by the underlying web framework, developing an application layer of the web development software stack including third bundles organized into a second bundle group by the underlying web framework, and allowing modification of code for each of the core layer, ket layer and application layer exclusively by web developers having a respective classification of a plurality of different classifications. The system includes various hardware components configured to perform the method for providing the web platform.

Claims

1. A method for implementing a web application on a web platform configured to assist in developing the web application, comprising:

receiving a project source code to utilize a core layer of a web development software stack comprising first bundles organized into a first bundle group by an underlying web framework, wherein the core layer includes framework classes for authorization;

developing a ket source code for a ket layer of the web development software stack such that the ket layer can act as a first sub-system, wherein the ket layer comprises second bundles organized into the first bundle group by the underlying web framework; and

developing an application source code for an application layer of the web development software stack such that the application layer can act as a second sub-system, wherein the application layer comprises third bundles organized into a second bundle group by the underlying web framework,

wherein the framework classes can be accessed by both the ket layer and the application layer.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the first bundles are organized into a toolbox group and comprise one or more code segments configured to provide core operational functionalities.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein the second bundles are organized into the toolbox group and comprise one or more code segments configured to provide business logic and operations.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the third bundles are organized into a vendor bundle group and comprise one or more code segments configured to provide display.

5. The method of claim 1, further comprising a first application programming interface layer between the core layer and the ket layer to facilitate communication between the core layer and the ket layer.

6. The method of claim 1, further comprising a second application programming interface layer between the ket layer and the application layer to facilitate communication between the ket layer and the application layer.

7. The method of claim 6, wherein the second application programming interface layer is configured such that communication between the application layer and the ket layer is unidirectional from the application layer to the ket layer.

8. The method of claim 7, wherein the application layer is further configured to access one or more of the second bundles from the ket layer.

9. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

developing a project source code related to the web application to be implemented;

providing at least a portion of the project source code to a first work environment associated with generating the application source code comprising one or more code segments for execution within the application layer; and

providing at least a portion of the project source code to a second work environment associated with generating the ket source code comprising one or more code segments for execution within the ket layer.

10. The method of claim 9, further comprising combining the application source code and the ket source code thereby resulting in the web application.

11. A system for polling a device comprising:

a processing device; and

a non-transitory computer readable medium in communication with the processing device, the computer readable medium comprising one or more programming instructions for causing the processing device to;

receive a project source code to utilize a core layer of a web development software stack comprising first bundles organized into a first bundle group by an underlying web framework, wherein the core layer includes framework classes for authorization;

develop a ket source code for a ket layer of the web development software stack such that the ket layer can act as a first sub-system, wherein the ket layer comprises second bundles organized into the first bundle group by the underlying web framework; and

develop an application source code for an application layer of the web development software stack such that the application layer can act as a second sub-system, wherein the application layer comprises third bundles organized into a second bundle group by the underlying web framework,

wherein the framework classes can be accessed by both the ket layer and the application layer.

12. The system of claim 11, wherein the first bundles are organized into a toolbox group and comprise one or more code segments configured to provide core operational functionalities.

13. The system of claim 12, wherein the second bundles are organized into the toolbox group and comprise one or more code segments configured to provide business logic and operations.

14. The system of claim 11, wherein the third bundles are organized into a vendor bundle group and comprise one or more code segments configured to provide display logic.

15. The system of claim 11, further comprising one or more programming instructions for causing the processing device to develop a first application programming interface layer between the core layer and the ket layer to facilitate communication between the core layer and the ket layer.

16. The system of claim 11, further comprising one or more programming instructions for causing the processing device to develop a second application programming interface layer between the ket layer and the application layer to facilitate communication between the ket layer and the application layer.

17. The system of claim 16, wherein the second application programming interface layer is configured such that communication between the application layer and the ket layer is unidirectional from the application layer to the ket layer.

18. The system of claim 17, wherein the application layer is further configured to access one or more of the second bundles from the ket layer.

19. The system of claim 11, further comprising one or more programming instructions for causing the processing device to:

develop a project source code related to the web application to be implemented;

provide at least a portion of the project source code to a first work environment associated with generating the application source code comprising one or more code segments for execution within the application layer; and

provide at least a portion of the project source code to a second work environment associated with generating the ket source code comprising one or more code segments for execution within the ket layer.

20. The system of claim 19, further comprising one or more programming instructions for causing the processing device to combine the application source code and the ket source code thereby resulting in the web application.
