Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, system and computer program product for the auto-completion of values in a model in a composite services enablement data processing system. The method can include establishing for a common session, multiple channels of access to a model for a composite service. The method further can include synchronizing views for each of the channels of access based upon detected value changes to data members of the model. Finally, the method can include auto-completing associated values for other data members of the model responsive to receiving a value change for one data member in the model.

Claims

1. An auto-completion method for values in a model in a composite services enablement data processing system, the method comprising:

establishing for a common session, multiple channels of access to a model for a composite service;

synchronizing views for each of the channels of access based upon detected value changes to data members of the model; and

,

responsive to receiving a value change for one data member in the model, auto-completing associated values for other data members of the model.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein establishing for a common session, multiple channels of access to a model for a composite service, comprises establishing for the common session at least a channel of communication for voice mode of access to the service, and a channel of communication for a visual mode of access to the service.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein establishing for a common session, multiple channels of access to a model for a composite service, comprises establishing for a common session, multiple channels of communication in a next generation networking (NGN) network for at least a channel of communication for a voice mode of access to the service, and a channel of communication for a visual mode of access to the service.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein synchronizing views for each of the channels of access based upon detected value changes to data members of the model, comprises:

creating listeners for value changes for data members of the model;

detecting value changes for data members in the model in the listeners; and

,

updating the view for each of the channels of access responsive to detecting the value changes in the listeners.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein auto-completing associated values for other data members of the model, comprises:

receiving a value for changing a data member of the model;

matching other values associated with the received value for other data members of the model; and

,

updating each data member of the model according to the received value and matched other values.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein auto-completing associated values for other data members of the model, comprises:

receiving a value for changing a data member of the model;

matching other values associated with the received value for other data members of the model; and

,

updating fields in a form within a view to reflect the received value and matched other values.

7. A composite service enabling data processing system comprising:

a plurality of channel servlets enabled to establish multiple different channels of access to a common session for a composite service;

a location registry comprising a table of entries associating the different channels of access with the common session for the composite service; and

,

a model servlet configured for coupling to a model for the common session, for modifying state data in the model for the common session, and to synchronize views for each of the different channels of access to the common session responsive to changes detected in the model; and

,

auto-completion logic coupled to the model, the auto-completion logic comprising program code enabled to auto-complete values for data members in the model responsive to receiving an associated value for a data member in the model as part of a change detected in the model.

8. The system of claim 7, wherein the auto-completion logic is coupled to the model through the model servlet.

9. The system of claim 7, wherein the auto-completion logic is coupled to the model through a listener to the model.

10. The system of claim 7, wherein the auto-completion logic is disposed in an applet executing in one of the views.

11. The system of claim 7, wherein the channel servlets and model servlet are disposed in an Internet protocol (IP) multimedia subsystem (IMS) in a next generation networking (NGN) network.

12. A computer program product comprising a computer usable medium having computer usable program code for auto-completion of values in a model in a composite services enablement data processing system, the computer program product including:

computer usable program code for establishing for a common session, multiple channels of access to a model for a composite service;

computer usable program code for synchronizing views for each of the channels of access based upon detected value changes to data members of the model; and

,

computer usable program code for responsive to receiving a value change for one data member in the model, auto-completing associated values for other data members of the model.

13. The computer program product of claim 12, wherein the computer usable program code for establishing for a common session, multiple channels of access to a model for a composite service, comprises computer usable program code for establishing for the common session at least a channel of communication for voice mode of access to the service, and a channel of communication for a visual mode of access to the service.

14. The computer program product of claim 12, wherein the computer usable program code for establishing for a common session, multiple channels of access to a model for a composite service, comprises computer usable program code for establishing for a common session, multiple channels of communication in a next generation networking (NGN) network for at least a channel of communication for a voice mode of access to the service, and a channel of communication for a visual mode of access to the service.

15. The computer program product of claim 12, wherein the computer usable program code for synchronizing views for each of the channels of access based upon detected value changes to data members of the model, comprises:

computer usable program code for creating listeners for value changes for data members of the model;

computer usable program code for detecting value changes for data members in the model in the listeners; and

,

computer usable program code for updating the view for each of the channels of access responsive to detecting the value changes in the listeners.

16. The computer program product of claim 12, wherein the computer usable program code for auto-completing associated values for other data members of the model, comprises:

computer usable program code for receiving a value for changing a data member of the model;

computer usable program code for matching other values associated with the received value for other data members of the model; and

,

computer usable program code for updating each data member of the model according to the received value and matched other values.

17. The computer program product of claim 12, wherein the computer usable program code for auto-completing associated values for other data members of the model, comprises:

computer usable program code for receiving a value for changing a data member of the model;

computer usable program code for matching other values associated with the received value for other data members of the model; and

,

computer usable program code for updating fields in a form within a view to reflect the received value and matched other values.
