System and method for automating workflow applications utilizing routes

Abstract:

A method and system provides a data services application that is highly scalable and modifiable without great risk of damaging the application. The method and system stores in a routing library in accordance with a browserless runtime environment, a plurality of route files each defining a data communication route between a data services application and a data source. The method and system stores, in accordance with the browserless runtime environment, application source code for the data services application. The application source code includes a callout to each route file in the routing library. Routes can be added by adding a new route file to the routing library and by adding a single line of code to the source code of the application.
