Patent ID: 8332815

Claim:
A method for utilizing a JAVASCRIPT Object Notation (JSON) bridge during JAVA-based composite application development comprising: receiving of a user-selected command to present a wiring diagram of a JAVA-based composite application by an enhanced JAVA-based composite application development tool, wherein said JAVA-based composite application comprises at least one JAVA-based component and at least one non-JAVA-based component, wherein at least one property of at least one JAVA-based component of the JAVA-based composite application is communicatively wired to a non-JAVA-based component; acknowledging access of the JAVA-based composite application by a JSON bridge, wherein said registration establishes a communication pathway for the JSON bridge to receive information regarding pertinent user-executed commands performed within the enhanced JAVA-based composite application development tool; visually rendering the wiring diagram of the JAVA-based composite application within a wiring interface of the enhanced JAVA-based composite application development tool; and for each property of a JAVA-based component communicatively wired to a non-JAVA-based component, presenting within the wiring interface a user-selectable option to utilize the JSON bridge as a communication medium to the non-JAVA-based component, wherein the JSON bridge is a component of a JAVA-based composite application framework in which the JAVA-based composite application and the enhanced JAVA-based composite application development tool operate; and when a user-entered change occurs to a property of the JAVA-based component communicatively wired to the non-JAVA-based component and said property having the JSON bridge option selected, automatically invoking the JSON bridge to communicate data associated with the user-entered change to the communicatively wired non-JAVA-based component, wherein said data is stored within a source document conforming to a standardized markup language.
