A component application runtime environment is provided for executing component applications on a device comprising a native runtime environment for executing native applications. The component application runtime environment comprises the following services and subsystems. A control centre represents the component application runtime environment as a native application and provides features offered by the device to the component applications. A base services layer provides basic device services to the component applications. A messaging layer transmits messages to and from the component applications. An application layer provides user interfaces for executing the component application.

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.

A system and method of creating and communicating with wireless component applications is provided. Mobile communication devices communicate with a web service via a wireless network, the Internet, and optionally a message-map service. Each wireless component application is executed by a component framework on one of the mobile communication devices, and comprises data components, presentation components, message components, and workflow components. The component framework executes the component application in an application container which provides access to framework services which include a communication service, a screen service, a persistence service, an access service, a provisioning service, and a utility service. Messages can be sent from the component application to the message-map service, which converts each of the messages to a format required by the web service using an application message-map, and then sends the message to the web service. The web service sends a response to the message-map service, which converts the response to the format required by the wireless component application, and sends the response to the wireless component application.
摘要:
A system and method of building wireless component applications are provided. Component applications are executed on mobile communication devices, which communicate with a web service via a wireless network and the Internet. The component applications comprise data components, presentation components, and message components, which are written in XML code.

摘要:
A method is provided for facilitating generation of a wireless application capable of receiving messages from a server-side application. The method comprising the following steps. A structured data file defining the wireless application is parsed for identifying at least one exposed function. Message definitions are generated in accordance with the exposed function for enabling communication between the server-side application and the wireless application. At least one interoperability functions is generated. Each interoperability function is associated with one of the exposed functions. The interoperability function is configured to execute the associated exposed function upon receipt of a message defined by a corresponding message definition.
摘要:
A method and system for secure messaging between a wireless device and an application gateway provides for connecting a device to an application mapping layer via a secure socket and exchanging encryption keys for effecting asymmetric encryption between the device and the application gateway. The encryption has a first set of keys for encrypting messages to the device and decryption a second set of keys for decrypting messages from the device. Accordingly, the present invention provides an entire solution from end-to-end. Combining a variety of security patterns and technologies in a specific manner to provide a highly secure form of protecting data in a messaging style format between two endpoints on a network. The present invention provides an optimized strength of encryption on the paths from application mapping layer to wireless device and vice versa. And is able to change in nature to suit the dynamic nature of the payload sizes and transmission rates in the mobile market.
