Abstract

Example implementations disclosed herein are directed to systems and methods for providing an event-trapping mechanism in a dynamic execution environment. The systems and methods can include creating one or more execution blocks, each associated with a sequence of screen events of a user interface, from a function stored in a script; storing the one or more execution blocks as handlers; and executing the one or more handlers independently from each other, when the associated sequence of screen events for the handler is detected in network traffic.

Claims

1. A computer implemented method for providing an event-trapping mechanism in a dynamic execution environment comprising:

creating one or more execution blocks, each associated with a sequence of screen events of a user interface, from a function stored in a script;

storing the one or more execution blocks as handlers; and

executing the one or more handlers independently from each other, when the associated sequence of screen events for the handler is detected in network traffic.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein the sequence of screen events is one or more of an on-screen event, an on-error event or an on-message event.

3. The method of claim 1 wherein an entry event for the function is stored in an event array which associates events with functions.

4. The method of claim 1 wherein the one or more handlers exist in one or more sequences of screen events.

5. The method of claim 1 wherein the script contains goto statements for moving between the one or more handlers.

6. The method of claim 1 wherein the associated sequence of screen events are document object model events.

7. The method of claim 1 wherein the network traffic is traffic between a client and a server such that the dynamic execution environment is an intermediary monitoring the network traffic.

8. The method of claim 7 wherein the handlers are stored in a memory of the dynamic execution environment.

9. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions for providing an event-trapping mechanism in a dynamic execution environment, the instructions comprising:

creating one or more execution blocks, each associated with a sequence of screen events of a user interface, from a function stored in a script;

storing the one or more execution blocks as handlers; and

executing the one or more handlers independently from each other, when the associated sequence of screen events for the handler is detected in network traffic.

10. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 9 wherein the sequence of screen events is one or more of an on-screen event, an on-error event or an on-message event.

11. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 9 wherein an entry event for the function is stored in an event array which associates events with functions.

12. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 9 wherein the one or more handlers exist in one or more sequences of screen events.

13. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 9 wherein the script contains goto statements for moving between the one or more handlers.

14. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 9 wherein the associated sequence of screen events are document object model events.

15. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 9 wherein the network traffic is traffic between a client and a server such that the dynamic execution environment is an intermediary monitoring the network traffic.

16. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15 wherein the handlers are stored in a memory of the dynamic execution environment.
