Abstract

A web-based application constructor can be used to construct a web display. A specification, for constructing a web display to contain page components that display data from heterogeneous data sources, may be created. The page components may be associated with uniform resource locators. Data from heterogeneous data sources may be retrieved to produce the web display. Display and update of the page components may be controlled using the uniform resource locators. User-selectable options may allow annotation of the page components for a page with comments.

Claims (33)

1. A non-transitory, machine-readable medium having machine-readable instructions thereon, which, when executed by one or more computers or other processing devices, cause the one or more computers or other processing devices to:

specify construction of a web display with a web-based application constructor, the web display to contain page components that display data from heterogeneous data sources having web services schemas to facilitate producing the web display, wherein the web-based application constructor obtains data from heterogeneous data sources to facilitate producing the web display, and the specifying comprises using shadow markers in an editing mode to display placement of the page components within the web display;

associate the page components with the shadow markers assigned to the page components;

construct one or more user interfaces with a page framework that specifies one or more pages comprising an object as a page, an entry as a page, and/or an object list as a page, wherein the one or more pages include one or more of the page components to access different types of data corresponding to the data from the heterogeneous data sources; and

cause display of at least some of the data from one or more of the heterogeneous data sources with the one or more of the page components, where the one or more of the page components are displayed in accordance with one or more of the shadow markers.

2. The non-transitory, machine-readable medium as recited in claim 1 , wherein web service WSDL is analyzed to determine user interface fields.

3. The non-transitory, machine-readable medium as recited in claim 1 , wherein an XML editor framework analyzes XML schema at WSDL.

4. The non-transitory, machine-readable medium as recited in claim 1 , wherein the page components contain interactive elements.

5. The non-transitory, machine-readable medium as recited in claim 1 , wherein all page editing is versioned.

6. The non-transitory, machine-readable medium as recited in claim 1 , wherein the one or more of the page components displayed to a user are controlled by roles and security.

7. The non-transitory, machine-readable medium as recited in claim 1 , wherein page layout is versioned.

8. The non-transitory, machine-readable medium as recited in claim 1 , wherein one or more versions are stored at a remote server.

9. The non-transitory, machine-readable medium as recited in claim 1 , wherein AJAX at a browser sends version information to a remote server.

10. The non-transitory, machine-readable medium as recited in claim 1 , wherein the heterogeneous data sources have web services schemas.

11. The non-transitory, machine-readable medium as recited in claim 1 , wherein at least one of the heterogeneous data sources is a relational database management system.

12. The non-transitory, machine-readable medium as recited in claim 1 , wherein at least one of the heterogeneous data sources is a customer relationship management system.

13. The non-transitory, machine-readable medium as recited in claim 1 , wherein at least one of the heterogeneous data sources is an enterprise resource planning system.

14. The non-transitory, machine-readable medium as recited in claim 1 , the one or more computers or other processing devices are further caused to use page templates to create the web display.

15. The non-transitory, machine-readable medium as recited in claim 1 , wherein the page components can include rich text.

16. The non-transitory, machine-readable medium as recited in claim 1 , wherein each of the page components has its own URL.

17. The non-transitory, machine-readable medium as recited in claim 1 , wherein at least one page component of the page components is a view of data in a list.

18. The non-transitory, machine-readable medium as recited in claim 1 , wherein at least one page component of the page components is a view of data in a record.

19. A system comprising:

one or more processors communicatively coupled to one or more memories and configured to provide a web-based application constructor to:

specify construction of a web display with a web-based application constructor, the web display to contain page components that display data from heterogeneous data sources having web services schemas to facilitate producing the web display, wherein the web-based application constructor obtains data from heterogeneous data sources to facilitate producing the web display, and the specifying comprises using shadow markers in an editing mode to display placement of the page components within the web display;

associate the page components with the shadow markers assigned to the page components;

construct one or more user interfaces with a page framework that specifies one or more pages comprising an object as a page, an entry as a page, and/or an object list as a page, wherein the one or more pages include one or more of the page components to access different types of data corresponding to the data from the heterogeneous data sources; and

cause display of at least some of the data from one or more of the heterogeneous data sources with the one or more of the page components, where the one or more of the page components are displayed in accordance with one or more of the shadow markers.

20. A method comprising:

specifying construction of a web display with a web-based application constructor, the web display to contain page components that display data from heterogeneous data sources having web services schemas to facilitate producing the web display, wherein the web-based application constructor obtains data from heterogeneous data sources to facilitate producing the web display, and the specifying comprises using shadow markers in an editing mode to display placement of the page components within the web display;

associating the page components with the shadow markers assigned to the page components;

constructing one or more user interfaces with a page framework that specifies one or more pages comprising an object as a page, an entry as a page, and/or an object list as a page, wherein the one or more pages include one or more of the page components to access different types of data corresponding to the data from the heterogeneous data sources; and

causing display of at least some of the data from one or more of the heterogeneous data sources with the one or more of the page components, where the one or more of the page components are displayed in accordance with one or more of the shadow markers.
