Abstract
The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for implementing a zero development WEB-based Graphical User Interface, in which an XML model coming from the protocol dependent MIB and automatically translated by the EM-NM MIB model is created. The XML model can be easily managed by an HTTP server and protocol, and displayed by a WEB browser, with no need to add any software.
Claims8
Method for creating a Graphical User Interface (GUI), starting from a protocol dependent MIB browser and an EM-NM interface model, comprising the following steps:
- at the Element Manager Level (EML), acting as an HTTP server, a syntactical conversion from the specific protocol dependent MIB model language into a generic extensible Markup Language (XML) model is made;
- the syntactical conversion is retrieved from the GUI through a WEB browser (Internet Explorer, Netscape, etc.) acting as an HTTP client;
- when retrieved, the syntactical conversion is parsed using a specific extensible Markup Language (XML) Scheme.
