Abstract
A web application framework is described for implementing a web server of a type capable of assuming a plurality of states and being arranged to process a received event from among a predeterminable set of events to change from one state to another, with each state having associated with it one or more model objects for providing the server with business logic and/or access to persistent data, the application framework comprising a context object class for creating objects containing data relating to each state, the context object class providing for an entry method for execution upon entry of the state, and an exit method for execution upon exit of the state.
Claims13
A web application framework for implementing a web server of a type capable of assuming a plurality of states and being arranged to process a received event from among a predeterminable set of events to change from one state to another, the application framework comprising a state machine controller class and a context object class for creating objects containing data relating to each state, the context object class providing for an entry method for execution upon entry of the state, and an exit method for execution upon exit of the state wherein the state machine controller class is arranged to process a state transition by calling, in a defined sequence, the exit methods of states left by virtue of the transition and the enter methods of states entered by virtue of the transition.
