    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To combine an existing object by accepting a choice of the existing object to be combined, defining a retrieved method and an attribute by applying a composition rule, and storing a reference code in the composite object. SOLUTION: The choice of the existing object to be combined is accepted (302) and the method and attribute of the selected object are retrieved (304). Here, the composition rule is applied to the retrieved method and attribute for the selected object to define the method and attribute for the combined object (306). The attribute or method of the combined object can be corrected (308). When the method or attribute of the combined object should not be corrected, the reference code to the combined method and attribute is stored in its composite object (312). To generate a composite business object, other elements, i.e., a key and a data object are defined (314).

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make RDBM software accessible through a web base network by attaining insertion of the visual selection of SQL inquiry, an application script, etc., to a computer program. SOLUTION: A RAD(raid application development) tool designs, develops, expands and debugs the computer programming for its integrated development to rapidly and easily access and display the data in a three-layer computer network. A development computer 400 executes the RAD tool consisting of many different computer programs or modules. Then, the RAD tool displays a use interface on a monitor 434, which is connected to the computer 400. An embedded SQL command is generated in an application script 414 to perform communication with an RDMS for the computer 400 by attaining insertion of the visual selection of SQL inquiry and the script 414 to a computer program.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make it possible to access a database through the Internet or an intranet by selectively docking and floating the menu/tool bar of a window displayed on a monitor connected to a computer. SOLUTION: The menu/tool bar of the window displayed on the monitor 434 connected to a developing computer 400 is selectively docked or floated. When a floating mode is selected, the menu/tool bar automatically separates from the window and floats. When a docking mode is selected, the menu/tool bar is automatically docked adjacently to the window. When the window is selected as an 'active' window in the floating mode, the menu/tool bar is activated. Once the menu/tool bar is activated, this comes to the 'foreground' together with the activated window.

    Abstract: A method, apparatus, and article of manufacture for providing a selectively docking and floating menu/tool bar for windows displayed on a monitor connected to a computer. The docking or floating nature of the menu/tool bar is selectable by the user, generally by selecting either a docking mode or floating mode from a menu displayed on the monitor. When floating mode is selected, the menu/tool bar automatically floats apart from the window. When docking mode is selected, the menu/tool bar automatically docks adjacent to the window. In floating mode, the selection of a window as an "active" window results in the activation of the menu/tool bar. In docking mode, the selection of a window as an "active" window results in the activation and immediate docking of the menu/tool bar to that window. Thereafter, any manipulation of the active window results in an identical manipulation of the docking menu/tool bar.

    Abstract: A smart guide supports the development of internet and intranet applications, including the production of customised database extender programs. Information from a graphic user interface (figure 7) is captured 800 and an intermediate language generated therefrom 802. Source code is then generated 804 from the intermediate language. The source code implements the function of the database extender by interfacing to a generic extender. The interfaced generic extender 806 is configured to adopt the characteristics of the specific extender defined in the intermediate language. The configured generic extender is then executed 810 to access and maintain the relational integrity of the specific extender.

    Abstract: A method, apparatus, and article of manufacture for providing a selectively docking and floating menu/tool bar (600, 602, 604, 606) for windows displayed on a monitor (434) connected to a computer (400). The docking or floating nature of the menu/tool bar is selectable by the user, generally by selecting either a docking mode or floating mode from a menu displayed on the monitor. When floating mode is selected, the menu/tool bar automatically floats apart from the window. When docking mode is selected, the menu/tool bar automatically docks adjacent to the window.

In docking mode, the selection of a window as an "active" window results in the activation and immediate docking of the menu/tool bar to that window.

    Abstract: Accessing a legacy target file with a potentially corrupting development tool, where the target file is characterized by its attributes, and the development tool is characterized by its tool capabilities, including the capability to return the target file with changed attributes. Protecting target file attributes is accomplished by limiting development tool access to the target file if development tool capabilities mismatch target file attributes. This is achieved by determining target file attributes from a source of target file attribute information. The determination of access is done by matching target file attributes to tool capabilities and granting development tool access to the target file if there is a match of target file attributes and tool capabilities, and denying or limiting access if there is a mismatch. A further step is assigning a registration permission key tool to the development tool if the development tool capabilities match the target file attributes.

    Abstract: A method, apparatus, and article of manufacture for providing a programming development environment that supports the development of Internet and Intranet applications. In particular, a database extender can be created. Initially, information from a user interface is captured. An intermediate language is then generated corresponding to the captured information. A source code is generated from the generated intermediate language. The source code implements the functionality of the database extender by interfacing to a generic extender. The interfaced generic extender is configured to take on the characteristics of the specific extender defined in the intermediate language. Then, the configured generic extender is executed as configured to access and maintain the relational integrity of the specific extender.
