Object mapping using intrinsic persistence metadata and pattern-based rules for mapping transformation

One or more non-transitory, processor-readable media storing instructions that, when executed by a data-processing system, cause the data-processing system to:

• process an object model received by the data-processing system, the object model defining a plurality of objects and a first set of rules governing relationships among the plurality of objects;
• analyze the object model to:
• determine a first set of metadata from the object model, wherein the first set of metadata specifies the plurality of objects in the object model and the first set of rules governing relationships among the plurality of objects;
• and
• determine a second set of metadata that specifies instantiations of objects of the plurality of objects in one or more data structures and a second set of rules governing the objects in the one or more data structures;
• where one or both of the first set of metadata and the second set of metadata are determined at least partially by determining whether a configuration file is associated with the object model, wherein, when a configuration file is not determined to be associated with the object model, one or both of the first set of metadata and the second set of metadata are extracted from the object model based at least in part on additional data incorporated within the object model;
• based at least in part on the first set of metadata and the second set of metadata, dynamically generate code to facilitate a representation of the object model in a mapping with a smart component, the smart component configured to persist and to manipulate the instantiations of objects of the plurality of objects in the one or more data structures based at least in part on the second set of rules governing the objects in the one or more data structures;
• and
• based at least in part on the first set of metadata, dynamically generating a graphical user interface editor for the object model, and manipulating the object model by editing instances of the object model responsive to input received via the graphical user interface editor.

A system comprising:

• a data-processing system comprising one or more processors communicatively coupled to a data store, the data-processing system further comprising memory coupled to the one or more processors and storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the data-processing system to:
• process an object model received by the data-processing system, the object model defining a plurality of objects and a first set of rules governing relationships among the plurality of objects;
• analyze the object model to:
• determine a first set of metadata from the object model, wherein the first set of metadata specifies the plurality of objects in the object model and the first set of rules governing relationships among the plurality of objects;
• and
• determine a second set of metadata that specifies instantiations of objects of the plurality of objects in one or more data structures and a second set of rules governing the objects in the one or more data structures;
• where one or both of the first set of metadata and the second set of metadata are determined at least partially by determining whether a configuration file is associated with the object model, wherein, when a configuration file is not determined to be associated with the object model, one or both of the first set of metadata and the second set of metadata are extracted from the object model based at least in part on additional data incorporated within the object model;
• based at least in part on the first set of metadata and the second set of metadata, dynamically generate code to facilitate a representation of the object model in a mapping with a smart component, the smart component configured to persist and to manipulate the instantiations of objects of the plurality of objects in the one or more data structures based at least in part on the second set of rules governing the objects in the one or more data structures;
• and
• based at least in part on the first set of metadata, dynamically generating a graphical user interface editor for the object model, and manipulating the object model by editing instances of the object model responsive to input received via the graphical user interface editor.
