RUNTIME CUSTOMIZATION INFRASTRUCTURE

摘要

In various embodiments, methods, systems, and non-transitory computer-readable media are disclosed that allow developers to allow runtime customizations of documents developed using a desktop integration framework. Workbook metadata is a set of information that describes how a given workbook is integrated with a particular web application. When a workbook is being published, metadata may be written into a local cache in the published workbook as well as a workbook definition file. Metadata management may be handed by a metadata service allowing updates and customization of published workbooks independently of a local cache in the published workbook and the workbook definition file.

主权项

1. A method for creating documents of desktop applications that act as user interfaces for web-based applications, the method comprising:
receiving, at a computer system, information from a first application identifying a document whose contents were created in a native application format associated with a second application; determining, by the computer system, a set of rules associated with metadata for the document, the metadata providing a link between a portion of the contents of the document and data associated with data models provided by one or more web-based applications in communication with the first application; generating, by the computer system, metadata for the document based on the determined set of rules that configure customizations to be applied to the metadata for the document; and communicating, from the computer system, the metadata for the document to the second application such that the document acts as a user interface for the one or more web-based applications.
