generating electronic instructions to display the name to the user at the remote terminal;

executing the programming code by using operations of the running objects specified to simulate the customer specific environment; and

transmitting an execution result of the programming code to the remote terminal for display in the code development console.

8. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 7 , wherein the method further comprises providing information about the running objects for display in the code development console at the remote terminal.

9. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 7 , wherein the method further comprises:

adding information about the execution of the programming code and the execution result to a log stored on the server; and

providing a user at the remote terminal access to monitor the log through the console.

10. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 7 , wherein the executing further comprises:

parsing the programming code;

invoking operations of the running objects based on the programming code;

compiling outputs of the invoked operations into the execution result; and

converting the execution result into an HTTP response.

11. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 9 , wherein the method further comprises:

receiving a new code input from the user, wherein the new code input is based on an executed code in the log; and

transmitting the new code to the server.

12. A server for executing programming code, wherein the server stores running objects to be used by the programming code, the server comprising:

at least one memory storing instructions; and at least one processor executing the instructions to cause the server to provide:

a dispatcher servlet for receiving a request from a remote terminal for a code development console through which the programming code and a specification of objects simulating a customer specific environment may be input, for providing to the remote terminal the code development console in response to the request, and for receiving the programming code and specification of objects input by a user into the console;

wherein the specification of objects represents objects available on a customer computer system; and

wherein the code development console is a scripting console web application running in a browser, the dispatcher servlet further:

receiving a name for the programming code from a user of the remote terminal;

generating electronic instructions to add the programming code to a cache of the browser, wherein the cache reflects the programming code identified by the name; and

generating electronic instructions to display the name to the user at the remote terminal;

a shell for processing a part of the programming code by invoking operations of the running objects specified by the programming code and specification of objects; and

a command handler for preprocessing the programming code, for supplying one or more parts of the programming code to the shell, and for generating an execution result based on output received from the shell;

wherein the dispatcher servlet transmits the execution result to the remote terminal for display.

13. The server according to claim 12 , wherein the preprocessing comprises parsing the programming code.

14. A computer-implemented method for executing programming code at a server, where the server stores running objects to be used by the programming code, the method comprising:

displaying a code development console associated with the server;

wherein the code development console is a scripting console web application running in a browser;

receiving programming code and a specification of objects simulating a customer specific environment entered into the code development console;

wherein the specification of objects represents objects available on a customer computer system;

receiving a name for the programming code from a user of the remote terminal;

generating electronic instructions to add the programming code to a cache of the browser, wherein the cache reflects the programming code identified by the name;

generating electronic instructions to display the name to the user at the remote terminal;

transmitting the received programming code and specification of objects to the server;

receiving, from the server, an execution result from executing, using at least the specified objects, the programming code at the server based on the stored running objects; and

displaying the execution result in the code development console.
