Application No. 09/562,641 Page 2
The DataWindow properties reside at an application server. The
corresponding client-side DataWindow component, embedded for
instance in a target HTML page, knows how to query the server-
side DataWindow for dynamically streaming the DataWindow's
properties, so that they may be applied at run-time on the client
side. After an end user has entered in the input desired, the
changes are determined by the client-side DataWindow component
and flushed back to the server-side DataWindow component at the
application server. The server-side DataWindow component, in
turn, can effect the changes to the back end database, as
appropriate (specification, page 5). An understanding of the
invention can be derived from a reading of exemplary claim 1,
which is reproduced as follows:
1. A method for providing object-based data access in a Web
environment supporting Java, the method comprising:
receiving at a Web browser an end user request for
displaying a Web page, thereby invoking a client-side Java-based
data access component that is embedded therein;
in response to invocation of the client-side component,
invoking a corresponding server-side data access component for
retrieving definition information for run-time operation of the
client-side component, said definition information including a
database query specifying retrieval of information from a
database and including a format specification specifying
presentation of the information retrieved from the database to
the end user; and
