Abstract
Techniques are provided for designing a mashup. In an example embodiment, a user input is detected. The user input relates a first GUI object, which represents a first widget, to a second GUI object that represents a second widget. The first widget conforms to a first widget specification and the second widget conforms to a second widget specification that is different than the first widget specification. In response to the user input, a variable is defined, where, at run-time, a value of an output parameter of the first widget is assigned to the variable and the variable is used as an input parameter of the second widget. An event definition that defines an event is generated based on the user input, where the event, when detected at run-time, causes contents of at least one of the first widget and the second widget to be refreshed. A binding definition is stored, where the binding definition associates with each other the event definition, the variable, the output parameter of the first widget, and the input parameter of the second widget. A definition of the mashup, which includes the binding definition, is then generated.
