Claims32
A commerce applications platform for providing features and services for commerce software applications, and operatively adaptable to a server platform capable of server-side presentation logic, the commerce applications platform comprising:
- an interface providing access to data elements, including a data and object repository;
- functional support for application logic based upon inheritance from the commerce applications platform;
- functional support for presentation logic;
- functional support for maintaining application data persistent within a user session;
- and
- an interface for access to a business object during the user session.
A method for implementing a first software application resident on a commerce application platform, comprising:
- providing presentation information by the first software application seeking input data from a user;
- receiving input data from the user for use by the first software application;
- passing the input data to the commerce application platform for validation;
- validating the data by the commerce application platform;
- providing, by the commerce application platform, business object functionality to the application;
- and
- preparing presentation information by the application based upon the business object functionality.
A method for providing services to a first software application residing on a commerce application platform, comprising:
- receiving from the application input data for validation;
- validating the input data;
- and
- providing business object functionality to the application.
