1. A system for integration of multiple applications in a managed application environment, the system comprising:
- a single interface deployed on a client computing device coupled over a network to an application server and an integration application server, the single interface configured for integrating multiple applications to a user, wherein the single interface has a parent area associated with a set of applications and a child area for presenting content associated with the set of applications, the client computing device includes a browser presenting the single interface and the integration application server includes an integration application to configure the client computing device in association with the browser;
a first link to a first application provided by the application server in the parent area to receive a first selection of the first application from the set of applications associated with the parent area for presenting content of the first application in the child area, wherein a parent URL associated with presentation of the content of the first application includes a domain identifier and parameters associated with the first application; and
a second link to a second application provided by the application server in the parent area to receive a second selection of the second application from the set of applications associated with the parent area for presenting content of the second application in the child area without alteration to at least a portion of the parent area, wherein presenting the content of the second application includes updating the parent URL so that the parent URL associated with the content of the second application includes the domain identifier and parameters associated with the second application using a script for;
polling the browser to obtain data on the second application,determining that a child URL associated with the child area has changed, andupdating the parent URL to reflect the child URL such that the parent URL includes the domain identifier and parameters associated with the child URL.
