Abstract

A method in a computing system having at least one server and a multiplicity of clients coupled thereto by means of a network. The server executes a Web Server program and at least one of the clients executes a Web browser program. The method operates in the server and at least one of the clients for supporting dynamic access to objects stored in the server repository by the Web browser program. The method begins in the client by parsing Form description language to obtain references to objects stored in the server repository. For each reference to an object stored in the repository, a message is constructed for the Repository Object for transmission to the Web server. Within the Web server the message is used to retrieve the contents of the Repository Object from the server repository. Next, the retrieved contents of the Repository Object is returned to the client for association with its Data Name. Next, a GUI Control is located that is associated with the Data Name; and, the contents of the Repository Object are placed into the GUI Control located in the previous step. Accordingly, a Form is displayed with GUI Controls filled in with values from the server repository.
