Abstract
A method and system are provided for implementing a configurable browser-based form application. A configurable application toolset is provided, having a plurality of reusable browser-based form application components, or shells, that are configured in response to a received set of configuration parameters. Based on the configuration parameters, the toolset can be used to create any number of browser-based form applications. The application includes a browser-based form, a database, and rules governing the collection and storage of gathered and stored data. All of the configuration parameters are stored as data, so that no recompiling or modification of compiled software code in the shells is required when changes are needed, or an entirely new browser-based form application is desired. This reduces cost and time in software development.
