Web based clients using embodiments of the disclosed invention may efficiently access stored manipulation functions in order to perform manipulation functions on data via Internet applications. The disclosed system allows web based applications to receive manipulation services on data using dynamically maintained, centrally stored, manipulation functions.
This application is a continuation-in-part of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/916,288, filed Jul. 30, 2001, which is hereby incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.
Clients using standard software protocols may access stored validation functions in order to perform validation functions on data via a number of methods including Internet applications, a Java RMI server, a CORBA gateway server and graphical screen interphase applications. The system allows for the efficient performance of validation services on data based on dynamically-maintained, centrally-stored validation functions.
Clients using standard software protocols may access a validation application server for validation service on data via a number of methods including Internet applications, a Java RMI server, a CORBA gateway server and graphical screen interphase applications. The validation server provides validation service on the data based on dynamically-maintained, centrally-stored validation functions.
The present invention provides a system and a method that employs a centralized properties server accessible from multiple applications using established computer network protocols. Applications that need configuration variables can make a request to the properties server. The server will then provide configuration values based on the attribute requested. Java applications may request property information by the use of the Java Remote Method Invocation and other applications may request information through a CORBA gateway server.
