Abstract
A GUI utility tool running on a web application development environment is presented that acts to eliminate inconsistency between a given HTML user input form description file and a corresponding servlet program file. The tool allows the user to specify an HTML file. The tool may then parse the HTML file to discover input parameters and generate Java servlet program code to receive the input parameters.
Claims13
A method of generating servlet program code, to reduce input parameter interface error, comprising:
- receiving a form description file;
- automatically parsing said form description file to discover input parameters;
- and
- automatically generating said servlet program code to receive said input parameters.
A computer readable medium containing computer-executable instructions that, when performed by a processor in a servlet development environment, cause the processor to:
- receive a form description file;
- automatically parse said form description file to discover input parameters;
- and
- automatically generate servlet program code to receive said input parameters.
A method of synchronizing files comprising:
- determining a first value for a time stamp on a form description file;
- determining a second value for a time stamp on a servlet program file;
- comparing said first value to said second value;
- and
- if said comparing indicates that said form description file was edited more recently than said servlet program file, generating an alarm.
A computer readable medium containing computer-executable instructions that, when performed by a processor in a servlet development environment, cause the processor to:
- determine a first value for a time stamp on a form description file;
- determine a second value for a time stamp on a servlet program file;
- compare said first value to said second value;
- and
- generate an alarm if said comparing indicates that said form description file was edited more recently than said servlet program file.
