SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DYNAMIC GENERATION AND CUSTOMIZATION OF WEB SERVICE CLIENT APPLICATIONS FOR TERMINALS

摘要

Many different web services require different application programs to access their data, and it is not practical for a wireless device to contain a sufficient number of application programs such that the device would be able to access all the available web services. Further, as new web services are developed, they may not be compatible with current application programs. Systems and methods are presented for dynamically generating components of a n application program for interaction with a selected schema defined service, the application for execution on a terminal coupled to the service via a network. One method comprises obtaining schema definitions of the service fr om a source and parsing the schema definitions for identifying an interface element. The interface element can include a plurality of element definition s. This method also builds a model of a service interface for representing the service, the service interface including the identified interface element. This method also generates an application template according to the model, t he template including at least one of the element definitions comprising the interface element, wherein the template is configured for customization for assembling the application for execution by the terminal.
