Application platform for developing mono-lingual and multi-lingual systems and generating user presentations

摘要

A method comprises the steps of obtaining a property setting, from a predefined set of properties; obtaining information comprising process identification, localization identification, and current user identification; using the information with a localization ID to enable access to a data definition table including current process information and current system information; constructing a user presentation; creating a record set object using a business object; creating a painter object with the business object; initializing properties of the painter object and providing the painter set object with the record set object. The method further comprises the steps of insuring the validity of the record set object using the painter object by insuring that the record set object contains a pointer record set component; determining if a menu is required using a process type code obtained in an initialization process; and retrieving a menu definition information from a menu object tables for a target language using the localization ID.
