Systems and methods for providing an embedded service-oriented user interface integration bus
Embodiments of the invention can provide systems and methods for providing an embedded service-oriented user interface integration bus. According to one embodiment, a system can be provided having a memory for storing computer executable instructions and a processor in communication with the memory via a computer interface. The processor can be adapted to execute computer executable instructions for receiving a user interface service request from an application module associated with a first platform. The processor can also be adapted to transform the user interface service request from the application module to a user interface service request for a host platform. The processor can also be adapted to match the transformed user interface service request to a platform service on the host platform and to transform the platform service for the host platform into a platform service for the client.

transforming the one or more user interface service requests from the at least one application module into one or more user interface service requests for a host platform, wherein the at least one application module involves processing dynamic logic and wherein the host platform is associated with a platform adapted to operate with multiple application frameworks;
matching the one or more transformed user interface service requests from the at least one application module with one or more platform services for the host platform; and
transforming one or more platform services for the host platform into one or more platform services for the client to provide a user interface to the at least one application module via the existing user interface of the client.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the legacy platform and the host platform are adapted to operate with a common application framework.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the legacy platform is associated with a platform adapted to operate with multiple application frameworks.

receiving one or more user interface service requests from the declarative application module;
transforming the one or more user interface service requests from the declarative application module into one or more user interface service requests for the host platform;
matching the one or more transformed user interface service requests from the declarative application module with one or more platform services for the host platform; and
transforming one or more platform services for the host platform into one or more platform services for the client to provide a user interface to the declarative application module via the existing user interface of the client.
6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the one or more user interface service requests from the declarative application module are defined in a web services description language.
7. A system comprising:
at least one memory for storing data and computer-executable instructions;
at least one computer interface; and
at least one processor in communication with the at least one computer interface and configured to access the at least one memory, and further configured to execute the computer-executable instructions to:
receive one or more user interface service requests from at least one application module, wherein the at least one application module is associated with a legacy platform;
transform the one or more user interface service requests from the at least one application module into one or more user interface service requests for a host platform, wherein the at least one application involves processing dynamic logic and wherein the host platform is associated with a platform adapted to operate with multiple application frameworks;
match the one or more transformed user interface service requests from the at least one application module with one or more platform services for the host platform; and
transform one or more platform services for the host platform into one or more platform services for a client to provide a user interface to the at least one application module via the existing user interface of the client.
8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the legacy platform and the host platform are adapted to operate with a common application framework.
9. The system of claim 7 , wherein the legacy platform is associated with a platform adapted to operate with multiple application frameworks.
10. The system of claim 7 , wherein the legacy platform is associated with a platform adapted to operate with a web-based application framework.
11. The system of claim 7 , wherein at least one application module comprises a declarative application module, and the at least one processor is configured to execute computer-executable instructions to:
receive one or more user interface service requests from the declarative application module;
transform the one or more user interface service requests from the declarative application module into one or more user interface service requests for the host platform;
match the one or more transformed user interface service requests from the declarative application module with one or more platform services for the host platform; and
transform one or more platform services for the host platform into one or more platform services for a client to provide a user interface to the declarative application module via the existing user interface of the client.
12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the declarative application module is configured to define the one or more user interface service requests in the web services description language.
13. The system of claim 7 , wherein the user interface is a graphical user interface.
14. A computer program embodied on a memory for providing an embeddable service-oriented user interface integration bus within a client, the computer program comprising instructions to:
receive one or more user interface service requests from at least one application module, wherein the at least one application module is associated with a legacy platform;
transform the one or more user interface service requests from the at least one application module into one or more user interface service requests for a host platform, wherein the at least one application module involves processing dynamic logic and wherein the host platform is associated with a platform adapted to operate with multiple application frameworks;
match the one or more transformed user interface service requests from the at least one application module with one or more platform services for the host platform; and
transform one or more platform services for the host platform into one or more platform services for a client to provide a user interface to the at least one application module via the existing user interface of the client.
