Abstract:
According to one general aspect, a method of retrieving data entities from a backend data device may include maintaining a data model of data entities employed by a user interface. The data model may include a hierarchical relationship between a leading data entity and at least one child data entity. The method may also include authorizing, with an authorization device, when retrieving the leading data entity. The method may include instructing the authorization device that data retrievals of subsequent data entities are to be authorized based upon the authorization of the leading data entity. The method may also include retrieving at least one child data entity of the leading data entity without providing additional authorization credentials.
Abstract:
A computer-implemented system may include reception of an instruction to create an association for an element of a UI component model, determination of a first business object model of the association, determination of a second business object model of the association, definition of foreign key parameters associating an attribute of the first business object model with an attribute of an element of the second business object model, reception of an instruction to bind the element of the UI component model to a second attribute of the element of the second business object model, and creation of metadata in the UI component model associating the element of the UI component model with the second attribute of the element of the second business object model, the metadata comprising the foreign key parameters.
Abstract:
A computer-implemented system may include reception, from a user interface client application, of an instruction to execute a user interface script conforming to a user interface component model, and determination of whether to execute the user interface script in the user interface client application or in a user interface backend application. If it is determined to execute the user interface script in the user interface client application, first program code associated with the user interface script is executed in the user interface client application, and if it is determined to execute the user interface script in the user interface backend application, second program code associated with the user interface script is executed in the user interface backend application.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, are provided for mapping at run time a value, such as a technical identification (ID) key, to text based on a text association. In one exemplary embodiment, a computer-implemented method includes receiving at run time a request, from a user interface at a client computer, the request associated with an object at a server; instantiating, at a server, a service for mapping at run time the value to text based on the text association, the text association being determined before run time; and at run time providing to a user interface at the client computer, the text based on the text association, such that the text is responsive to the request from the user interface.

Abstract:
A computer-implemented system may include reception, from a user interface client application, of a user interface request conforming to a user interface component model, translation of the user interface request from the user interface component model to a business object model, execution of interactions associated with the translated request with a backend service layer, the interactions conforming to the business object model, determination of business object node changes and business object property changes conforming to the business object model and corresponding to the interactions, translation of the business object node changes and the business object property changes to user interface data changes and user interface event property changes conforming to the user interface component model, and provision of the user interface data changes and user interface event property changes to the user interface client.
Abstract:
A method and system, the method may include determining a user interface to be displayed, the user interface including a user interface data element associated with a service input parameter. Information about the service input parameter may be provided to a field transformation as a transformation input, and a transformation output may be received from the field transformation.
Abstract:
According to one general aspect, a method may include receiving a virtual data field definition from a user interface model. The virtual data field may include a data field does not have a counterpart in a database of actual data fields. The method may include dynamically generating the virtual data field based upon the virtual data field definition. The method may include responding to a data request from the user interface with a plurality of data fields, wherein the plurality of data fields include both the virtual data field and an actual data field included by the database.

Abstract:
A system and method for modeling properties of data and events of a business application is presented. The system include a user interface frontend system that displays a user interface, and a user interface backend system that hosts a business application that generates the user interface for display in the user interface frontend system. The system further includes an enterprise service framework comprising one or more data processors that define one or more properties of data and/or events related to the business application, and model each of the one or more properties as a data field of the business application. A dynamic properties calculator includes one or more data processors that access a set of transformation logic representing data transformation rules for each of the data fields of the business application, and apply the transformation rules to the data fields that represent the one or more properties.
