Appeal No. 2004-2155
Application No. 09/562,641 Page 7
Careful review of the Rogers reference indicates that
Rogers does not teach retrieving definition information
for runtime operation of a client-side data access
component, and applying this definition information,
including a format specification, at the client-side
data access component.
The examiner's position (answer, page 4) is that claim 1 is
anticipated by Roger's disclosure found on page 12, lines 2-26.
The examiner argues (answer, page 9) that Rogers meets the
claimed "invoking a client-side Java-based data access component
that is embedded therein" because the web client's Java applets
are executed by a web agent of the web browser and communicates
via TCP/IP sockets with a control program agent which in turn
provides DIS access. The examiner further asserts (id.) that:
Rogers further teaches the claimed step of “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” [because] the DIS capsule gathers the required
data from one or more databases and returns to the
control program agent which in turn sends to the user
through Java applets in the form of output (col. 12,
lines 13-20).
In addition, the examiner takes the position (answer, pages 9 and
10) that:
