Modeling properties of data and events as transformations of document data and system values

摘要

A system and method for modeling properties of data and events of a business application is presented. The system include a user interface frontend system that displays a user interface, and a user interface backend system that hosts a business application that generates the user interface for display in the user interface frontend system. The system further includes an enterprise service framework comprising one or more data processors that define one or more properties of data and/or events related to the business application, and model each of the one or more properties as a data field of the business application. A dynamic properties calculator includes one or more data processors that access a set of transformation logic representing data transformation rules for each of the data fields of the business application, and apply the transformation rules to the data fields that represent the one or more properties.

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
defining, using one or more data processors of an enterprise service framework executing a business application that generates a user interface displayed on a user interface frontend system, one or more properties of data and events related to the business application; wherein the user interface is generated based on a user interface graphical layout and data required for calculation and evaluation of the one or more properties of data and events related to the business application, wherein the enterprise service framework supports a user interface framework comprising the user interface frontend system connected to a user interface backend system, and wherein the business application is implemented by a business object service provider and executed by the enterprise service framework, the user interface backend system hosts the business application, the user interface backend system being further connected to the enterprise service framework and retrieving the one or more properties of data and events related to the business application; modeling, using the one or more data processors, each of the one or more properties of data and events as a data field of the business application, the modeled properties of data and events being calculated and evaluated using a dynamic properties calculator of the enterprise service framework, wherein the dynamic properties calculator is separate from the business object service provider; accessing, by the one or more data processors, a set of transformation logic representing data transformation rules for each of the data fields of the business application; and applying, by the one or more data processors, the transformation rules to the data fields of the business application in response to a request by the user interface framework, the transformation rules being applied to the data fields that represent the one or more properties.
