Abstract
The invention includes system for centralized rendering of user interface elements based on configurations as described in XML. A developer may create a definition for a field based on the nature of the information to be displayed to a user within a single file. Such definition will affect all future instances of the particular data type without a need to modify and/or compile code residing either within an HTML file or on a server.
Claims21
A method comprising:
- receiving, by a computing system, a request for a web resource;
- identifying, by the computing system, a resource type of the requested web resource, and in response to determining that the resource type uses a particular type of script embedded in the web resource, compiling the web resource into a servlet;
- retrieving, by the computing system, an Extensible Markup Language (XML) tag from the web resource in response to the request;
- matching, by the computing system, the XML tag to a tag in a data type definition (DTD) file to obtain information indicating a first class file for use in rendering a user interface element for the web resource;
- mapping, by the computing system, the first class file within the servlet based on the obtained information;
- and
- performing a first rendering, by the computing system, of the user interface element for the web resource by executing program code in the servlet based on the first class file;
- changing, by the computing system based on user input, the class file indicated by the DTD file for the tag from the first class file to a second class file, wherein the DTD file is accessible using XML tags of multiple different web resources;
- receiving a second request for the web resource;
- matching, by the computing system, the XML tag to the tag in the DTD file to obtain information indicating the second class file;
- and
- performing a second rendering, by the computing system, of the user interface element for the web resource for the second request by executing program code based on the second class file, wherein the second rendering uses a different format for the user interface element than the first rendering.

A system, comprising:
- one or more processing elements;
- and
- one or more memories having program instructions stored thereon that, when executed by the one or more processing elements, cause the one or more processing elements to perform operations comprising:
- receiving, by a computing system, a request for a web resource;
- identifying, by the computing system, a resource type of the requested web resource, and in response to determining that the resource type uses a particular type of script embedded in the web resource, compiling the web resource into a servlet;
- retrieving an Extensible Markup Language (XML) tag from the web resource in response to the request;
- matching the XML tag to a tag in a data type definition (DTD) file to obtain information indicating a first class file for use in rendering a user interface element for the web resource;
- mapping the first class file within the servlet based on the obtained information;
- and
- performing a first rendering of the user interface element for the web resource by executing program code in the servlet based on the first class file;
- changing, based on user input, the class file indicated by the DTD file for the tag from the first class file to a second class file, wherein the DTD file is accessible using XML tags of multiple different web resources;
- receiving a second request for the web resource;
- matching the XML tag to the tag in the DTD file to obtain information indicating the second class file;
- and
- performing a second rendering of the user interface element for the web resource for the second request by executing program code based on the second class file, wherein the second rendering uses a different format for the user interface element than the first rendering.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a computing device, cause the computing device to perform operations comprising:
- receiving, by a computing system, a request for a web resource;
- identifying, by the computing system, a resource type of the requested web resource, and in response to determining that the resource type uses a particular type of script embedded in the web resource, compiling the web resource into a servlet;
- retrieving an Extensible Markup Language (XML) tag from the web resource in response to the request;
- matching the XML tag to a tag in a data type definition (DTD) file to obtain information indicating a first class file for use in rendering a user interface element for the web resource;
- mapping the first class file within the servlet based on the obtained information;
- and
- performing a first rendering of the user interface element for the web resource by executing program code in the servlet based on the first class file;
- changing, based on user input, the class file indicated by the DTD file for the tag from the first class file to a second class file, wherein the DTD file is accessible using XML tags of multiple different web resources;
- receiving a second request for the web resource;
- matching the XML tag to the tag in the DTD file to obtain information indicating the second class file;
- and
- performing a second rendering of the user interface element for the web resource for the second request by executing program code based on the second class file, wherein the second rendering uses a different format for the user interface element than the first rendering.
