<p>A client server environment having a server with a Web service in communication with a local client application which is tightly integrated with its local operating environment residing on a platform remote from the server; the local client application tightly integrated by way of integrating data structures requested and received from the server; the integrating data structures defining the attributes and parameters needed by the local client application to define an interface between the local client application and the Web service. The integrating data structures enable tight/close integration between the hosted application and the devices and the operating system features of the platform upon which the local client application resides. Also disclosed is an abstracted environment which can run on any one of the supported platform's devices as a native application, all based on the passing of the same page commands and receipt of corresponding client data objects between the server and the client applications; the data objects being identical irrespective of the platform. In a preferred form, the device application interface for each local platform is tightly integrated with the client application, whereby the abstracted environment appears to run as a native application on the platform.</p> |
