Abstract

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 o…
