With reference to figure 4, the block diagram of component applications 302 comprises data package 400, and display module 402 and message components 404 are by workflow component 406 214 these assemblies of coordination of communicating by letter with Application Container 300.This structured definition language can be used for handle component 400,402,404 and is configured to a series of metadata record, and this metadata record comprises some predefines unit of the specific object of representing a resource, makes each unit can have one or more values.Each metadata planning has the feature of definition usually, such as, but be not limited to: a limited unit number, the title of each unit reaches the connotation at each unit.The metadata planning of example comprises such as, but be not limited to Dublin (Dublin) core (DC), English-cent rule-like (AACR2), government information positioning service (GES), coding archives to be described (EAD), IMS whole world learned academy (IMS), reaches Government Of Australia positioning service (AGLS).The coding sentence structure makes the metadata of device basic structure 204 (referring to Fig. 2) processing components 400,402,404, and encoding scheme comprises such as, but be not limited to XML, HTML, XHTML, XSML, RDF, MARC, machine-readable catalogue (MARC) and multi-usage internet mail extension (MIME).

With reference to figure 4, data package 400 limits the data entity that is used by component applications 302 again.The example of the data entity that data package 400 can be described has: user and financial transaction.Data package 400 is defined as the information of this data entity requirement of description and the information format of expression.For example, this data package 400 can define such as, but be not limited to: comprise a order of unique identifier at the order that is formatted as numeral, be formatted as a tabulation of the project of word string, has the time that the order of Date-Time form is created, be formatted as the order status of character string, and a user who sends this order, this order is formatd according to another definition of this data package 400.Because data division (unit) is transformed to message 105 according to Web service stage rule from message 105 usually, thereby continuing of data package 400 arranged preferably.Data package 400 can be given birth to by dynamic real estate according to Web service stage definition (if can obtain), or is defined by this application programming personnel according to compound type definition and/or message relevant information.

With reference to figure 4, the message format that these message components 404 definition are used by component applications 302 is so that communicate by letter with the external system of for example Web service again.For example, one of this message components 404 can be described the message that is used to place an order such as, but be not limited to one, and this order comprises the unique identifier that is used for this order, the state and the note relevant with order of order.Can represent (and being mapped to) WSDL message uniquely with the message components 404 that this structured definition language is write as, and can dynamically produce in the execution time.Therefore, from at the definitional language that is used for representing this Web service interface, in the standard Web service metadata among WSDL and the BPEL, can realize at being used for client application message 105, and the dynamic generation of the component definition of related data content.In the environment of operation, limit Web service message 105, and wherein be defined in the correlativity between this message components 404 in these component applications 302 definition.As following further qualification, this correlativity can be used predefined message parameter and/or realize by mask work stream assembly 406.

With reference to figure 4, this display module 402 defines the outward appearance and the behavior of this component applications 302 when component applications 302 is shown by user interface 202 again.Display module 402 can be stipulated GUI screen and control, and the action that will be performed when the user uses user interface 202 and this component applications 302 alternately.For example, this display module 402 can limit screen, label, edit box, button and menu, and the action of keying in an edit box or will take during by next button as the user.Most of Web service consumers use the visual display of Web service operating result, therefore can provide this runtime environment on the device 100 of explicit user interface screen.

With reference to figure 1,4 and 4b, should be realized that display module 402 can be according to the environment change of client platform and device 100 in above-mentioned client component application program 302 definition master control models.For example, under some situation, the Web service user does not require a visible demonstration.The application definition of the assembly 400,402,404,406 of this component applications 302 can be by master control in metadata be stored a Web service registration table in 700, as platform-neutral-data 400, message 404, have a boundling at the workflow 406 component descriptions symbol of the various intended client group platform of working time-special-purpose display module 402 descriptors (be concrete component framework structure 206-referring to Fig. 2).When this discovery or configuration request message 105 were issued, this client type should be prescribed the part as this request message 105.In order in different client platform packing component applications 302, to avoid copy data, message and workflow metadata at this device 100, the definition of application program can be gone up by the different boundlings that the platform-neutral component definition that link be set of master control conduct with display module 403a, 403b, 403c, the user interface 202 of the different devices of supporting 100 of expression at this application server 110 (for example).It should further be appreciated that a standard display module 402 can use under the situation that this specialized equipment 100 is not clearly supported, thereby the setting of a reduction of display characteristic is provided at least.When the user makes a discovery or during downloading request message 105, client computer type working time of device 100 is identified and disposes suitable boundling, be delivered to device 100 through networks 104 by this Web server 106.At those Web services consumer, this client applications 302 can comprise display module 403a, 403b, the 403c of the selection that links by workflow component 406 and data 400 and information 404, thereby the component applications 302 of a customization is provided.

Again with reference to figure 4, the workflow component 406 of this component applications 302 defines the processing that will take place in the time will carrying out an operation, for example an action that will be performed during from system's 10 arrival by operation of aforesaid display module regulation or when message 105 (referring to Fig. 1).The processing that shows workflow and message 105 is limited by workflow component 406.This workflow component 406 is write a series of instructions such as, but be not limited to the ECMAScript script by with programming language or a kind of script, and can be compiled into this machine code like that and carried out by Application Container 300 as described.An example of workflow component 406 can be for data assignment, management screen or send this message 105.Workflow component 406 be supported between this message 105 correlativity and according to coming definition application to flow about one group of rule of the operation of other assembly 400,402,404.Can be with respect to a plurality of workflow components of a given application program 302 definition.This additional workflow component and a plurality of display module 403a, 403b, 403c are similar, can or specifically install 100 characteristic according to different tenabilities and define different workflows.

ECMA (European computer maker federation) script is a kind of script of standard, and script wherein can be called as by another program rather than by the sequence of computer processor compiling or the instruction carried out.The example of other script has Perl, Rexx, VBScript, JavaScript and Tcl/Tk.Usually, script is the language of instruction, is used to the facility managing, customize and operate existing system automatically, for example installs 100.In this system, can obtain useful function, and this script is to be used to show the mechanism of control function of programming by user interface 202 (referring to Fig. 2).In this way, device 100 provides the object of finishing this script ability and the master control runtime environment of facility.

Specifically, EMCAScript is an object-oriented programming language, is used for carrying out in this main frame runtime environment the object of calculating and Management Calculation.ECMAScript can be used as a page script language, and a kind of mechanism is provided, and carries out the calculating of server 106,110, as the part (referring to Fig. 1) based on the client-server architecture of webpage of system 10.ECMAScript is provided for the core script ability of various main frame runtime environments, and therefore this core script to be considered to for some concrete main frame runtime environments be operating platform neutrality.Component framework structure 206 (referring to Fig. 2) can be provided for the ECMAScript main frame runtime environment of the client-side calculating of device 100, such as, but be not limited to; The object of expression window, menu, ejection, dialog box, literal field, anchor point, frame, history, cookies and I/O.In addition, the main frame runtime environment of component framework structure 206 provides a device of incident that scripted code is appended to, and these incidents for example do not comprise that change, the page and the image of focusing load, unload, make mistakes and mouse action is submitted, reached to abort, selection, form to with not limiting to.This scripted code appears in this workflow component 406, integrated user interface unit and text and image fixing and that calculate, and react for the reciprocation on user interface 202.Web server 106 (referring to Fig. 1) is provided for the different hosted environment of the calculating of server one side, comprises the object of expression request, client computer and file, and the mechanism of locking and shared data.By client computer one side and server one batter are originally used together, might be in a customized user interfaces 202 that is provided for based on the component applications 302 of Web, Distribution Calculation between client apparatus 100 and server 106,110.

ECMAScript also defines one group of built-in operational character, can not be proper function or method.The ECMAScript operational character for example but do not comprise with limiting to various unary operators, multiplication operations symbol, additive operator, by turn shifting function symbol, relational operator, equate operational character, scale-of-two bitwise operator, binary logic operational character, assignment operator and comma operator.But the ECMAScript sentence structure is similar to the Java sentence structure, and limit (relaxed) separated in the ECMAScript sentence structure, so that make it can be developed personnel as a kind of easy-to-use script.For example, the variable among ECMAScript does not require its type of statement, neither the type relevant with attribute, and the function that does not require definition literal occurred and states before calling.Should be realized that, in object-oriented programming language based on a classification, usually by the example carrier state, carry method by classification, and just structure and the behavioral characteristic inherited.In ECMAScript, carry this state and method by object, and whole succession structure, work performance and state.

The component applications example

Therefore, with reference to figure 4, client applications 302 can be defined as the component definition of a group platform neutrality, specifies the display module 402 (or any other suitable structured definition language) of making loop-around data assembly 400 and message components 404 and use XML.Workflow component 406 can use ECMAScript (or the neutral script of any other suitable platform) definition.When assembly 400,402 404,406 assemblies of this component applications 302 are provided on the device 100, when assembly 400,402,404,406 assemblies of this component applications 302 were provided on the device 100, the client computer runtime environment (referring to Fig. 2) of framed structure 206 can produce component template as described below based on unit's definition.Environment when utilizing the terminal operating of a big class, for example the cross-platform standard of XML or ECMAScript can be used for definition application component metadata data rather than builds this component applications 302 in advance.The constraint of this delay can make the definition of common applications of this component applications 302 be run on the various terminal system environment by 100 expressions of various different devices.

Use the XML or derivatives thereof to represent this data package 400, message components 404 and display module 402, and use this ECMAScript language or its subclass to represent workflow component 406, can make an application developer from any dedicated platform or environment, extract this Web service client computer, and carry out the application program of " once generating then operation everywhere " in principle.Below example show can use and represent the mode of a Web service client applications 302 such as, but be not limited to structured definition language of XML and such as, but be not limited to the neutral script of the operating platform of ECMAScript/definition of programming language assembly:

With reference to figure 4, as situation about providing above, can find out that this message components 404 passes on the data of requirement of the input and output that are used for this message 105.Corresponding data package is coordinated the storage of the data in the memory module 210 (referring to Fig. 2) of device 100, is used for subsequently by the demonstration of this display module 402 on user interface 202 (referring to Fig. 2).The conversion of workflow component 406 coordination datas between data package 400, display module 402 and message components 404.

For component application model as mentioned above, some potential advantages are arranged.For example, being minimized in the service agreement between client computer in the requirement for a moderator aspect time and the service terminal point.Come master control add-on assemble (servlet, JSP, ASP etc.) so that html page data/request is different with the application program based on browser that the service terminal point is connected with requiring a Web server, this component application model uses the message component definition of Web service (on this server 106) to be implemented in the end-to-end direct connection of client computer between working time of device 100.

And this component application model handle combines with the efficient that native application is carried out based on the simplification of the application program of browser.Be different from browser application,, preferably be minimized in the screen that provides of execution time immediately, and the client computer runtime environment can produce this machine demonstration of application screen along with the download of whole application program 302 definition.In addition, because this component application model structure is a message components 404 to comprise data, be minimized from the requests for page (screen definition in HTML) of this server.

And, to compare with lasting model with the native application and the valid data storer of hard coded, this component applications structure can provide a very little application program to download scale (including only component definition).The demonstration of the html page that for example is used for browser application that provides with management is compared, and the atomic data entity can directly be stored and upgrade to client computer working time.

And this component applications structure can provide a platform neutral model.Be different from special native application at exploitation working time of specific client machine, use for example XML of extensively employing and the application program 302 of ECMAScript standard structure on various platforms, to reuse, and really realize the principle of " once generate then and move " everywhere.And the combination of this non-process and program application definition can reduce programming time and working strength greatly.

The operation of component application model
