Deep hierarchy navigation

A computer program product for deep hierarchy navigation, the computer program product being tangibly embodied on a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium and comprising instructions that, when executed by at least one computing device, are configured to cause the at least one computing device to:

• instantiate user interface (UI) components of an application, wherein the UI components are associated with a plurality of application views of the application on a computing device, wherein each of the UI components is represented by an application model, and wherein the one or more application views are populated with different UI components from the UI components;
• define a mapping structure including relationships between for the UI components, wherein a relationship is determined based on a dependency of an object included in a UI components to another object included in another UI component, wherein the relationships include at least one relationship between two objects from two different UI components associated with two different application views from the plurality of application views of the application;
• in response to receiving data for an object in a first UI component in a first application view from the plurality of application views of the application, validate the received data with validation rules associated with the first UI component;
• in response to PM the first UI component violating one of the validation rules, identify an error in a second UI component, wherein the second UI component is determined based on the defined mappings, the second UI component being in a relationship with the first UI component, and wherein the second UI component is included in a second application view different from the first application view from the plurality of application views of the application;
• provide a popover window at the first application view to include a notification associated with the identified error;
• and
• in response to a selection of the notification in the popover window, automatically navigate to the second application view including one or more objects of the second UI component containing associated with the error.

A system for deep hierarchy navigation, the system comprising:

• at least one memory including instruction;
• and
• at least one processor that is operably coupled to the at least one memory and that is arranged and configured to execute instructions that, when executed, cause the at least one processor to:
• an application controller to instantiate user interface (UI) components of an application, wherein the UI components are associated with a plurality of application views of the application on a computing device, wherein each of the UI components is represented by an application model, and wherein the one or more application views are populated with different UI components from the UI components;
• a dependency mapping module configured to define a mapping structure including relationships between for the UI components, wherein a relationship is determined based on a dependency of an object included in a UI components to another object included in another UI component, wherein the relationships include at least one relationship between two objects from two different UI components associated with two different application views from the plurality of application views of the application;
• a validation middleware module that, in response to receiving data for an object in a first UI component in a first application view from the plurality of application views of the application, is configured to validate the received data with validation rules associated with the first UI component;
• the validation middleware module that, in response to the first UI component violating one of the validation rules, is configured to
• identify an error in a second UI component, wherein the second UI component is determined based on the defined mappings, the second UI component being in a relationship with the first UI component, and wherein the second UI component is included in a second application view different from the first application view from the plurality of application views of the application;
• provide a popover window at the first application view to include a notification associated with the identified error;
• and
• the application controller, in response to a selection of the notification in the popover window, is configured to automatically navigate to the second application view including one or more objects of the second UI component associated with the error.
