Pass-through interface queries to populate a class-based model

An apparatus comprising:

• a memory storing processor-executable process steps;
• and
• a processor in communication with the memory and operative in conjunction with the stored process steps to:
• receive a request for data associated with an object instantiation of a component of a class model representing tag-based data and non-tag-based data, the request including user criteria mapped to a member of the component;
• utilize an interface and a configuration to query an operational data source for data associated with data fields, wherein one of the data fields is associated with the member of the component, wherein one field of the configuration is associated with the member of the component, and wherein the one field of the configuration includes the user criteria that is mapped to the member of the component;
• receive data associated with the data fields from the operational data source;
• and
• populate the member of the object instantiation with data of the one of the data fields associated with the member.

A medium storing computer-executable program code, the program code comprising:

• code to receive a request for data associated with an object instantiation of a component of a class model representing tag-based data and non-tag-based data, the request including user criteria mapped to a member of the component;
• code to utilize an interface and a configuration to query an operational data source for data associated with data fields, wherein one of the data fields is associated with the member of the component, wherein one field of the configuration is associated with the member of the component, and wherein the one field of the configuration includes the user criteria that is mapped to the member of the component;
• code to receive data associated with the data fields from the operational data source;
• and
• code to populate the member of the object instantiation with data of the one of the data fields associated with the member.
