Using A System Of Annotations To Generate Views And Adapters
View pageUS Patent:
7917893, Mar 29, 2011
Filed:
Mar 7, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/715030

International Classification:
G06F 9/44
US Classification:
717117, 717107, 717110
Abstract:
Various technologies and techniques are disclosed for using annotations in contracts to generate views and adapters. A framework is provided that supports annotations that can be used in a contract to allow a user to express how one or more members of the contract should be represented in at least one view, and to express how to adapt the members in at least one adapter. Annotations can also be used to indicate which of the components should be programmatically generated. The contract is accessed and at least a portion of the at least one view and the at least one adapter are generated based on the annotations and other information contained in the contract. For example, source code can programmatically be generated for a host side view, an add-in side view, a host side adapter, and an add-in side adapter using the various contract details and the annotations.

20090006629, Jan 1, 2009
Filed:
Jun 29, 2007
Appl. No.:

International Classification:
G06F 15/16
US Classification:
709227
Abstract:
An embodiment not only instantiates a pipeline that allows communication between first and second executable nodes regardless of whether the nodes have compatible or incompatible interface views, but also structures the pipeline based on the relationship between the interface views so, for example, the pipeline does not consume unnecessary overhead or introduce unnecessary data-transfer delay. For example, an embodiment compares a first interface view of a first executable node to a second interface view of a second executable node. A first communication pipeline having a first structure is instantiated between the first and second nodes if the first view has a first pre-established relationship to the second view, and a second communication pipeline having a second structure is instantiated between the first and second nodes if the first view has a second pre-established relationship to the second view.
