Developmental tool and method for automating detection and construction of notification-based component applications
View Patent ↗A notification module is provided for executing in combination with an application design tool for facilitating generation of a component application. The notification module includes a program wizard configured to assist with the development of the component application. That is, the program wizard detects a notification from at least one message. Notification operations are created in accordance with the detected notification. Corresponding elements are constructed in accordance with the created notification operations. Lastly, a mapping document is created for correlating the at least one message with its corresponding constructed elements. The mapping document is for use at a gateway server to facilitate communication between the application and a corresponding backend server.
1. A computer implemented system comprising a processor and memory, the memory having instructions stored thereon, the instructions comprising a notification module for executing in combination with an application design tool for facilitating generation of a component application, the notification module comprising a program wizard configured to:
a) detect a notification from at least one message;
b) create notification operations in accordance with said detected notification;
c) construct corresponding elements in accordance with said created notification operations; and
d) create a mapping document in accordance with said created notification operations for correlating the at least one message with its corresponding constructed elements, the mapping document for use at a gateway server to facilitate communication between the application and a corresponding backend server.
2. The computer implemented system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one message is defined by a WSDL document and the corresponding elements include components of the component application.
3. The computer implemented system of claim 2 , wherein the program wizard is further configured to provide a developer with a filter building page for constructing one or more notifications.
4. The computer implemented system of claim 3 , wherein the program wizard is further configured to automatically configure the subscribe, unsubscribe and subscription-end operations of the notification constructed by the developer.
5. The computer implemented system of claim 2 , wherein the program wizard is further configured to construct additional components of the component application in accordance with a desired complexity of the component application.
6. The computer implemented system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one message is a message component in a component application and the corresponding elements include operations in a WSDL document.
7. A method for facilitating generation of a notification-based component application, the method comprising the steps of:
a) detecting a notification from at least one message;
b) creating notification operations in accordance with said detected notification;
c) constructing corresponding elements in accordance with said created notification operations; and
d) creating a mapping document in accordance with said created notification operations for correlating the at least one message with its corresponding constructed elements, the mapping document for use at a gateway server to facilitate communication between the application and a corresponding backend server.
8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the at least one message is defined by a WSDL document and the corresponding elements comprise components of the component application.
9. The method of claim 8 , further comprising the step of providing a filter building page for constructing one or more notifications.
10. The method of claim 9 , further comprising the step of configuring the subscribe, unsubscribe and subscription-end operations of the notification.
11. The method of claim 8 , further comprising the steps of constructing additional components of the component application in accordance with a desired complexity of the component application.
12. The method of claim 7 , wherein the at least one message is a message component in a component application and the corresponding elements comprise operations in a WSDL document.
13. A non-transitory computer-readable medium for storing instructions which, when executed on a computing device, cause the computing device to implement the steps of:
a) detecting a notification from at least one message;
b) creating notification operations in accordance with said detected notification;
c) constructing corresponding elements in accordance with said created notification operations; and
d) creating a mapping document in accordance with said created notification operations for correlating the at least one message with its corresponding constructed elements, the mapping document for use at a gateway server to facilitate communication between the application and a corresponding backend server.
