PROVIDING COMMUNICATION BETWEEN A CLIENT SYSTEM AND A PROCESS-BASED SOFTWARE APPLICATION

Abstract:

Resource-to-operation pairs are received at a user interface. The resource-to-operation pairs are stored in a model abstraction as a flat structure. The resource-to-operation pairs in the flat structure are converted into Representational State Transfer (REST) connectors. The REST connectors are encoded in a conventional interface description language. The REST connectors are stored in webpage code. A request is received at the webpage code from the client system for a service of a process step of the process-based software application. A REST connector in the webpage code translates the request to a message that conforms with the service. A response from the service is received at the webpage code. The response from the service is processed at the webpage code. Data retrieved by the processing of the response is accessed via a browser located at the client system.
