DYNAMIC DATA SOURCE BINDING

摘要

A method for customizing a user interface of a server-side business application on a client device includes querying the server-side business application for information on an available data source in a current context of the business application and for information on a data type of the available data source. The method further involves mapping the data type of the available data source to a user interface (UI) element type and loading an UI element of the mapped UI type in the user interface on the client device. The method includes the server-side business application to retrieve data from the available data source, and displaying the retrieved data via the loaded UI element in the user interface of the business application on the client device.
