Abstract

The disclosure generally describes computer-implemented methods, software, and systems for allowing provisioning of open data protocol (OData) services on top of a generic interaction layer (GenIL). One computer-implemented method includes receiving an OData-compliant request for data, determining a GenIL data provider to receive the OData-compliant request for data, determining the memory location of the data, requesting the data from the determined memory location, receiving the requested data from the determined memory location, converting, using at least one computer, the received data into an OData-compliant format, rendering an OData-compliant response, and transmitting the OData-compliant response.

Claims (50)

1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:

receiving an open data protocol (OData)-compliant request for data, wherein the OData-compliant request for data is for at least one of an object model or object-model-associated runtime data, wherein the object-model-associated runtime data is associated with an object model mapped from a generic interaction layer (GenIL)-compliant format to an OData-compliant format, and wherein the request is processed by a generic runtime component that remains stateless between individual OData-compliant requests for data and access to determined memory locations of the data;

determining a GenIL data provider to receive the OData-compliant request for data;

determining a memory location of the data;

requesting the data from the memory location;

receiving the requested data from the memory location;

converting, using at least one computer, the received data into an OData-compliant format;

rendering an OData-compliant response; and

transmitting the OData-compliant response.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the OData-compliant request for data is generated pre-runtime.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the GenIL data provider is for providing GenIL-compliant data for at least one of an object model or runtime data.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the request for data from the determined memory location is in a GenIL-compliant format.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising constructing an OData object model from the received data.

6. A computer-program product, the computer program product comprising computer-readable instructions embodied on tangible, non-transitory media, the instructions operable when executed to perform operations to:

receive an open data protocol (OData)-compliant request for data, wherein the OData-compliant request for data is for at least one of an object model or object-model-associated runtime data, wherein the object-model-associated runtime data is associated with an object model mapped from a generic interaction layer (GenIL)-compliant format to an OData-compliant format, and wherein the request is processed by a generic runtime component that remains stateless between individual OData-compliant requests for data and access to determined memory locations of the data;

determine a GenIL data provider to receive the OData-compliant request for data;

determine a memory location of the data;

request the data from the memory location;

receive the requested data from the memory location;

convert, using at least one computer, the received data into an OData-compliant format;

render an OData-compliant response; and

transmit the OData-compliant response.

7. The computer-program product of claim 6 , wherein the OData-compliant request for data is generated pre-runtime.

8. The computer-program product of claim 6 , wherein the GenIL data provider provides GenIL-compliant data for at least one of an object model or runtime data.

9. The computer-program product of claim 6 , wherein the request for data from the determined memory location is in a GenIL-compliant format.

10. The computer-program product of claim 6 , further comprising instruction to construct an OData object model from the received data.

11. A system, comprising:

memory operable to store at least one of object model or object-model-associated runtime data; and

at least one hardware processor interoperably coupled to the memory and operable to:

receive an open data protocol (OData)-compliant request for data, wherein the OData-compliant request for data is for at least one of an object model or object-model-associated runtime data, wherein the object-model-associated runtime data is associated with an object model mapped from a generic interaction layer (GenIL)-compliant format to an OData-compliant format, and wherein the request is processed by a generic runtime component that remains stateless between individual OData-compliant requests for data and access to determined memory locations of the data;

determine a GenIL data provider to receive the OData-compliant request for data;

determine a memory location of the data;

request the data from the memory location;

receive the requested data from the memory location;

convert, using at least one computer, the received data into an OData-compliant format;

render an OData-compliant response; and

transmit the OData-compliant response.

12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the OData-compliant request for data is generated pre-runtime.

13. The system of claim 11 , wherein the GenIL data provider provides GenIL-compliant data for at least one of an object model or runtime data.

14. The system of claim 11 , further comprising constructing an OData object model from the received data.

15. A computer-implemented method, comprising:

receiving an open data protocol (OData)-compliant request for data, wherein the request is processed by a generic runtime component that remains stateless between individual OData-compliant requests for data and access to determined memory locations of the data, wherein the OData-compliant request for data is generated pre-runtime and is for at least one of an object model or object-model-associated runtime data, and wherein the object-model-associated runtime data is associated with an object model mapped from a generic interaction layer (GenIL)-compliant format to an OData-compliant format;

determining a GenIL data provider to receive the OData-compliant request for data wherein the GenIL data provider provides GenIL-compliant data for at least one of an object model or runtime data;

determining a memory location of the data;

requesting the data from the memory location, wherein the request for data from the determined memory location is in a GenIL-compliant format;

receiving the requested data from the memory location;

converting, using at least one computer, the received data into an OData-compliant format;

constructing an OData object model from the received data;

rendering an OData-compliant response; and

transmitting the OData-compliant response.
