These implementations may also involve executing a component re-rendering process to create a re-rendered page and displaying the re-rendered page. The component re-rendering process may be based, at least in part, on output from the handler execution process. | 11-24-2011 |
20110289476 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR PROVIDING A USER INTERFACE IN A MULTI-TENANT DATABASE ENVIRONMENT - Methods, devices and systems for providing a user interface in an on-demand software service environment are described. Some implementations involve receiving a component request from a first client device, locating class-level definition source code for a component definition corresponding to the component request, identifying the component definition within the source code, determining a language of the component definition and selecting a parser according to the language of the component definition. Such implementations may also involve parsing the source code to create the component definition and transmitting an intermediate representation of the requested component to the client device. The intermediate representation may allow the client device to create an instance of the requested component. | 11-24-2011 |
20110289479 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR PROVIDING A USER INTERFACE IN A MULTI-TENANT DATABASE ENVIRONMENT - Methods, devices and systems for providing a user interface in an on-demand software service environment are described.
