International Classification:

G06F 15/16

US Classification:

709203

Abstract:

Methods, devices and systems for providing a user interface in an on-demand software service environment are described. Some implementations involve receiving a component request from a first client device and building or retrieving component definitions corresponding to the component request. The implementations may also involve instantiating the component definitions and obtaining data and metadata for the component instances. Such implementations may also involve serializing the component definitions, component instances, the data and the metadata, and returning a response to the first client device. The response may include serialized instantiated component definitions, serialized data for the instantiated component definitions and serialized metadata for the instantiated component definitions.

US Classification:

709203

Abstract:

Methods, devices and systems for providing a user interface in an on-demand software service environment are described. Some implementations involve sending a request from a first apparatus to a second apparatus and receiving a response from the second apparatus. The response may include serialized instantiated component definitions, serialized data for the instantiated component definitions and serialized metadata for the instantiated component definitions. Such implementations may involve deserializing the response to create a metadata structure, traversing the metadata structure to create an instance data structure, traversing the instance data structure to render or re-render a page and displaying the page on a display of the first apparatus.

International Classification:

G06F 3/00

US Classification:

715744

Abstract:

Methods, devices and systems for providing a user interface in an on-demand software service environment are described. Some implementations involve displaying a rendered page, detecting the firing of an event in the rendered page and determining an event type for the event. The implementations may also involve ascertaining whether an action associated with the event is implemented in a server-side language or a client-side language, locating handlers for the event according to the event type and performing a handler execution process. These implementations may also involve executing a component re-rendering process to create a re-rendered page and displaying the re-rendered page. The component re-rendering process may be based, at least in part, on output from the handler execution process.

US Classification:

717107

Abstract:

Methods, devices and systems for providing a user interface in an on-demand software service environment are described. Some implementations involve receiving a component request from a first client device, locating class-level definition source code for a component definition corresponding to the component request, identifying the component definition within the source code, determining a language of the component definition and selecting a parser according to the language of the component definition. Such implementations may also involve parsing the source code to create the component definition and transmitting an intermediate representation of the requested component to the client device. The intermediate representation may allow the client device to create an instance of the requested component.

US Classification:

717122

Abstract:

Methods, devices and systems for providing a user interface in an on-demand software service environment are described. Some implementations involve receiving an indication of a component definition to instantiate. The component definition may be a portion of a component definition data structure. Such implementations may also involve instantiating the provided component, instantiating all remaining attributes of the component definition data structure to produce a component instance data structure and transmitting an intermediate representation of the indicated component to a client device. The intermediate representation may comprise a version of the component instance data structure. The intermediate representation may allow the client device to create an instance of the component in memory.

International Classification:

G06F 9/44

US Classification:

717106

Abstract:

In a method, system, and computer-readable medium having instructions for adding directives for JavaScript files directly into source code, a source file for preprocessing is received and the source file is written in a client-side scripting language, the source file is parsed, directive information is identified within the source file, metadata is associated with the directive during preprocessing, metadata associated is retrieved with a preprocessed directive, a request to access metadata associated with a preprocessed directive in the source file is received and the preprocessed directive is the directive from the source file, and at least a portion of markup language is generated for a web page in accordance with metadata associated with the preprocessed directive in response to the request.

Abstract:

In a method, system, and computer-readable medium having instructions for adding directives for versions of JavaScript files directly into source code, a source file for preprocessing is received and the source file is written in a client-side scripting language, the source file is parsed, directive information is identified for a directive within the source file and the directive information comprises data on at least a portion of a client-side scripting language file and a mode, a version of the source file for the mode is created and the version of the source file comprises source code from the source file and the at least a portion of the client-side scripting language file, and metadata is associated with the directive and the version of the source file.

International Classification:

G06F 9/44
G06F 9/455
G06F 9/45

Abstract:

A version of the source file is created that includes source code from a source file, and at least a portion of a client-side scripting language file (CSSLF) for generating at least a portion of markup language for a web page to be served to a client device using a webserver. A processor associates metadata with a preprocessed directive (PPD) and a version of the source file (VSF). The metadata can include at least the portion of the CSSLF. The webserver can then retrieve, from a database, only the metadata associated with the PPD in the VSF such that the entire source file does not need to be retrieved. When a request for the metadata associated with the VSF is received, at least the portion of the markup language for the web page can be generated in accordance with the metadata associated with the PPD and the VSF.
