Abstract
A method includes selecting a database on a system and selecting a style format on the system. The database contains data information for the web application, and the style format is applied to the web application. The method also includes selecting a validation rule for the web application, selecting a business rule for the web application, dynamically rendering the web application from a database to a web browser, and dynamically editing the web application. The web application incorporates the selected database and the selected style format instantaneously upon dynamic rendering.
Claims17
A method comprising:
- providing a first interface to facilitate user design of a web application for rendering a database absent user-supplied code, wherein designing the web application comprises using a graphical user interface included in the first interface to select the database and specify a style format from a plurality of previously stored style formats or a newly registered style format, and using a graphical user interface included in the first interface to specify a validation rule previously stored or newly registered by the user;
- and
- providing a second interface to facilitate user access to data, wherein the second interface uses the web application to render a dynamic webpage that displays data from the database.
A computer program product, tangibly embodied in a machine readable storage device, the computer program product being operable to cause a data processing apparatus to:
- provide a first interface to allow a user to design a web application for rendering a database absent user-supplied code, wherein designing the web application comprises using a graphical user interface included in the first interface to select the database and specify a style format from a plurality of previously stored style formats or a newly registered style format, and using a graphical user interface included in the first interface to specify a validation rule previously stored or newly registered by the user;
- and
- provide a second interface to facilitate user access to data, wherein the second interface uses the web application to render a dynamic webpage that displays data from the database.
A system comprising:
- a display device;
- a computer driving the display device and configured to execute a web browser;
- and
- one or more processors in the computer or communicating with the computer via a communication network, the one or more processors configured to:
- provide a first interface to allow a user to design a web application for rendering a database absent user-supplied code, wherein designing the web application comprises using a graphical user interface included in the first interface to select the database and specify a style format from a plurality of previously stored style formats or a newly registered style format, and using a graphical user interface included in the first interface to specify a validation rule previously stored or newly registered by the user, and
- provide a second interface to facilitate user access to data, wherein the second interface uses the web application to render a dynamic webpage that displays data from the database.
