Abstract:
1. A method in a data processing system for generating service frameworks, the method comprising: providing a system library comprising a set of components for the service frameworks, wherein the set of components includes object components and service components based on a set of platform independent models, wherein the set of platform independent models is defined by a user using a set of application definitions; identifying a subset of components from the set of components by an integrated generator; identifying a target platform for the service frameworks; generating the service frameworks by the integrated generator, wherein the service frameworks are deliverable to a client, wherein the service frameworks include a computer usable program code for the service frameworks, wherein the computer usable program code includes the object components and the service components, wherein the service frameworks include typed components, and wherein the typed components are weakly typed components or strongly typed components, wherein the generating step comprises: responsive to detecting an object definition comprising a scope of server in an application definition, generating an access class in the object components to retrieve a manager class; generating the manager class in the object components to retrieve server properties from a data class; and generating the data class in the object components to read server properties from a property file and cache the server properties at a server start up, wherein the data class includes get methods for accessing property values of the server properties, and wherein the data class includes a reload method to reload server properties from the property file if the property file is updated without a server restart; and storing the service frameworks on the data processing system, wherein the service frameworks are platform dependent.
