Systems for platform-independent application publishing to a web container

A system for publishing an application to a web container, the system comprising:

• an application server comprising:
• at least one processor;
• at least one host, each of the at least one hosts hosting at least one web application coupled to a channel of communication with a user device;
• and
• a memory storing processor-executable instructions, wherein the at least one processor is configured to implement the following operations upon executing the processor-executable instructions:
• embed a web container into at least one pluggable user interface software component of a web portal for a web browser at the user device, the web container comprising an HTML5 canvas element of the web portal, the web portal being associated with a plurality of applications;
• execute an application of a plurality of applications in a user session associated with an end user associated with the user device, the application being platform-independent of the user device;
• capture one or more video frames of a virtual screen associated with the application executed on the application server;
• and
• send the one or more video frames of the virtual screen to the web container of the web portal, the user device acting as a remote terminal for viewing the one or more video frames of the virtual screen and the HTML5 canvas element.

A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer useable storage device having a computer readable program for publishing an application to a web container by an established channel of communication with a user device, wherein the computer readable program when executed on an application server causes the application server to:

• embed a web container into pluggable user interface software component of a web portal for a web browser at the user device, the web container comprising an HTML5 canvas element of the web portal, the web portal being associated with a plurality of applications;
• execute an application of the plurality of applications in a user session associated with the end user associated with the user device, the application being platform-independent of the user device;
• capture one or more video frames of a virtual screen associated with the application executed on the application server;
• and
• send the one or more video frames of the virtual screen to the web container of the web portal, the user device acting as a remote terminal for viewing the one or more video frames of the virtual screen and the HTML5 canvas element.
