Bidirectional update of client-server objects

A computer program product, tangibly embodied in an information carrier, the computer program product comprising instructions operable to cause data processing apparatus to:

• receive one or more modifications to a structure of server data objects;
• and
• transmit a data object update command to a client, the data object update command being operable to update a structure of client data objects with the modifications to the structure of server data objects, the data objects and the structure of client data objects being managed through an implementation of a predefined application programming interface that implements at least two types of data object update commands, the data object update commands being operable to update the client data objects with the server data objects, wherein the two types of data object update commands are:
• an object level update type that is operable to update one or more specified data objects, and
• a sub-structure level update type that is operable to update a sub-structure of the data objects.
