主权项

1. A computer system for publishing business content using a metadata framework, the system comprising:
a code module repository for storing executable code modules; a plurality of communication interfaces for receiving a service request from a client system; a formatting engine for detecting a data format of the service request; and a control engine for performing, using a processor, at least the following operations:
defining a communication memory area in response to receiving the service request, wherein data stored in said defined communication memory area being accessible for processing subsequently received service requests;selecting a business rule from a plurality of business rules based on the service request;selecting at least one executable code module from the code module repository based on the selected business rule;processing the service request by executing the business rule based on the service request;generating at least a portion of a user interface for display at the client system based at least on data stored at the defined communication memory area; andgenerating a response based on the processing of the service request and the generating of the user interface,wherein the execution of the business rule causes the processor to execute the at least one executable code module selected from the code module repository.
