Abstract

According to one aspect of the present invention, a system is provided for implementing view caching in a framework to support web-based applications. The system comprising a set of server-side objects managed by an object manager (OM) running on a server. The system further comprises a set of browser-side objects running on a browser running on a client. The system also comprises a remote procedure call (RPC) mechanism and a notification mechanism to facilitate communication and synchronization between the browser-side objects and the server-side objects. The system additionally comprises a cache on the client to store layouts of views, wherein each view is a display panel consisting of a particular arrangement of applets.

Claims

1. A system, comprising:

a set of server-side objects managed by an object manager (OM) running on a server;

a set of browser-side objects running on a browser running on a client;

a remote procedure call (RPC) mechanism and a notification mechanism to facilitate communication and synchronization between the browser-side objects and the server-side objects; and

a cache on the client to store layouts of views, wherein each view is a display panel consisting of a particular arrangement of applets.
