Content management system employing a hybrid web application framework
A method may include receiving, via a network, a request for browser-renderable content, and determining, by a processor of a computing device, a web framework, where the web framework includes at least one ASP.NET™ control and at least one ASP.NET™ MVC controller. The method may include determining, by the processor, first instructions, where the first instructions correspond to the at least one ASP.NET™ control, and the first instructions include a browser-renderable language. The method may include determining, by the processor, second instructions, where the second instructions correspond to the at least one ASP.NET™ MVC controller, and the second instructions include the browser-renderable language The method may include combining, by the processor, the first instructions and the second instructions to determine the browser-renderable content, and providing, via the network, the browser-renderable content.
1. A method comprising:
determining, by a processor of a computing device, an existing web application framework including a first ASP.NET™ control;
receiving, by the processor, a request to add an ASP.NET™ MVC controller to the existing web application framework comprising the ASP.NET™ control; and
adding the ASP.NET™ MVC controller to the existing web application framework to create a modified web application framework, such that, responsive to a request for browser-renderable content associated with the modified web application framework, first instructions corresponding to the first ASP.NET™ control and comprising a browser-renderable language are generated, second instructions corresponding to the ASP.NET™ MVC controller and comprising the browser-renderable language are generated, and the first instruction are combined with the second instructions to determine the browser-renderable content.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the ASP.NET™ MVC controller, when added, replaces a second ASP.NET™ control, the existing web application framework including the second ASP.NET™ control and the modified web application framework lacking the second ASP.NET™ control.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the request for browser-renderable content comprises a request for a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI).
4. The method of claim 3 , further comprising, prior to determining the modified web application framework, determining the request relates to an identified route.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein:
the request for browser-renderable content is a hypertext transfer request; and
providing the browser-renderable content comprises serving at least one markup language file responsive to the hypertext transfer request.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the modified web application framework comprises a web form.
7. The method of claim 1 , comprising:
executing a first process to determine the first instructions comprising a browser-renderable language; and
executing a second process to determine the second instructions comprising a browser-renderable language; and
wherein the first process executes substantially in parallel with the second process.
8. The method of claim 7 , wherein executing the second process comprises spawning a separate request, based upon the request for the browser-renderable content, to determine the second instructions.
9. The method of claim 7 , wherein the first process is executed using a first Virtual Path Provider and the second process is executed using a second Virtual Path Provider.
10. The method of claim 7 , wherein the browser-renderable language is HTML.
11. The method of claim 1 , wherein combining the first instructions and the second instructions comprises accessing a presentation layout, and combining the first instructions and the second instructions according to the presentation layout.
12. The method of claim 11 , wherein:
the modified web application framework is modeled using at least one of a) one or more presentation files and b) one or more web application files; and
the presentation layout comprises at least one presentation file.
13. The method of claim 12 , wherein the one or more presentation files comprise at least one of a mark-up language file, an interpreted language file, and a style sheet file.
14. The method of claim 12 , wherein the one or more web application files comprise at least one of a Java file and a JavaScript file.
15. A system comprising:
a processor; and
a memory having instructions stored thereon, wherein the instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
determine an existing web application framework including a first ASP.NET™ control;
receive a request to add an ASP.NET™ MVC controller to the existing web application framework comprising the ASP.NET™ control; and
add the ASP.NET™ MVC controller to the existing web application framework to create a modified web application framework, such that, responsive to a request for browser-renderable content associated with the modified web application framework, first instructions corresponding to the first ASP.NET™ control and comprising a browser-renderable language are generated, second instructions corresponding to the ASP.NET™ MVC controller and comprising the browser-renderable language are generated, and the first instruction are combined with second instructions to determine the browser-renderable content.
16. The system of claim 15 , wherein the ASP.NET™ MVC controller, when added, replaces a second ASP.NET™ control, the existing web application framework including the second ASP.NET™ control and the modified web application framework lacking the second ASP.NET™ control.
17. The system of claim 15 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
execute a first process to determine the first instructions comprising a browser-renderable language; and
execute a second process to determine the second instructions comprising a browser-renderable language; and
wherein the first process executes substantially in parallel with the second process.
18. The system of claim 15 , wherein the modified web application framework comprises a web form.
19. The system of claim 15 , wherein the request for browser-renderable content comprises at least one of a request for a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) and a hypertext transfer request.
20. A non-transitory computer readable medium having instructions stored thereon, wherein the instructions, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
determine an existing web application framework including a first ASP.NET™ control;
receive a request to add an ASP.NET™ MVC controller to the existing web application framework comprising the ASP.NET™ control; and
add the ASP.NET™ MVC controller to the existing web application framework to create a modified web application framework, such that, responsive to a request for browser-renderable content associated with the modified web application framework, first instructions corresponding to the first ASP.NET™ control and comprising a browser-renderable language are generated, second instructions corresponding to the ASP.NET™ MVC controller and comprising the browser-renderable language are generated, and the first instruction are combined with second instructions to determine the browser-renderable content.
