摘要:
A method for encoding a message communicated between devices, the message having at least one field, the method comprising: if the field is not optional and contains a value, writing the value to one or more data bytes in a byte buffer; and, if the field is optional and contains a default value, marking a bit in a reserved byte in the byte buffer to indicate that the field contains a default value.

A system and method for generating an application based on a first component having definitions expressed in a structured definition language and a second component having a series of instructions. The component applications comprise data components, presentation components, and message components, which are written in XML code. The component applications further comprise workflow components which are written in a subset of ECMAScript, and are augmented with the XML code. The components define the processing on a device runtime environment of messages communicated over a network between the device and a datasource. The system and method have a data model for providing a persistent state of the application including the component definitions and the series of instructions. The system and method also have a code module for obtaining the components from the data model and for generating a first application element including code representing the component definitions. The system and method also have a mappings module for obtaining datasource mapping information from the data model and for generating a second application element including mapping file descriptors corresponding to the datasource mapping information, the mapping information for use in communication of the messages between the device runtime environment and the datasource. The system and method also have a resource module for collecting application resources and for generating a third application element including the resources, wherein the application elements are subsequently packaged as a deployable form of the application.
摘要:
Method and system for controlling application access to a shared resource in a runtime environment. The shared resource is owned by a remote resource owner. An access control ticket including a permission for the shared resource, a cryptographically verifiable remote resource owner identifier and a cryptographically verifiable application owner identifier are generated. The access control ticket is approved and signed by the remote resource owner, and transmitted to the runtime environment. The application, when executed in the runtime environment, accesses the resource based on the permission.

An application persistence system for improving wireless application resource efficiency is provided. The application persistence system comprises a persistence-point definition module for defining conditions that trigger persisting application data, a persistence-point analysis module for identifying efficient and reliable persistence points and a persistence points enforcement module for enforcing persistence points at application runtime. A method of improving wireless application resource efficiency is also provided. The method comprises the steps of defining conditions that trigger persisting application data, identifying efficient and reliable persistence points, defining a persistence mode flag in an application's profile, and enforcing persistence points at application runtime.
摘要:
A system and method for providing a user interface system to develop an application having a first component with descriptors expressed in a structured definition language and a second component expressed as a series of instructions. The individual components interact for processing messages on a runtime environment of a device that are received from a data source over a network. The component applications comprise data components, presentation components, and message components, which are written in XML code. The component applications further comprise workflow components which are written in a subset of ECMAScript, and are augmented with the XML code. The user interface system comprises a first module, such as a viewer or and editor, for developing the definitions of the first component through interaction with a data model that provides a persistent state of the application. The user interface system comprises a second module for developing the instructions of the second component through interaction with the data model. and a backend connector for providing the message mapping information of the data source to the first module. The first module generates the definitions based on the mapping information. The first and second components developed by respective the first and second modules are included in the application with other components where applicable.
摘要:
A system and method for coordinating the development of an application including a first component having definitions expressed in a structured definition language and a second component having a series of instructions. The components defme the processing on a device runtime environment of messages communicated over a network between the device and a datasource. The system and method comprise a first development pattern configured for interaction with a development enviroment provided by a computer user interface, the first pattern for guiding a user of the user interface with a plurality of predefined steps to coordinate the development of the application components through user input events via the user interface The first pattern is configured for selecting from a plurality of patterns based on a component type central to the first development pattern such that he component type is selected from a plurality of types including at least one of data, message, screen, and workflow. The system and method also include a first module corresponding to the selected component type and configured for coupling to the first pattern. The first module is for developing the definitions of at least one of the components through interaction with a data model of the development environment providing a persistent state of the application. The operation of the first module is coordinated using the plurality of the predefined steps communicated to the user through the user interface; wherein the developed components are subsequently assembled as the application.
摘要:
A method is provided for automatically updating a component application that reflects a current data-source description document. The method comprises the following steps. Identifying one or more differences between the current data-source description document and a new data-source description document. Automatically updating components of the component application affected by the differences in the new data-source document. A data-source update module configured to implement the steps of the method is also provided.
摘要:
A system and method for assembling an application bundle representing an application including a first component having definitions expressed in a structured definition language and optionally a second component having a series of instructions, such that the application bundle is for provisioning on a device for assisting in message communication over a network between the device and a datasource. The system and method comprises a build service interface for receiving a series of elements of the application, the elements including mapping and interface information of the datasource and a description of the first component. The system and method also have a build engine coupled to the build service interface for assembling the received elements as the application bundle, wherein the application bundle is subsequently deployable to an application bundle storage.
