Abstract
Abstract A method, apparatus, and program storage device for sharing objects with a network server and a database server using a common object model. A first set of objects is stored in a common file accessible by a network server and a database server. A second set of objects is stored in the common file. The first set of objects has network server executable logic and the second set of objects has database server executable logic. The first set of objects are published to the network server and the second set of objects are built in the database server. Building the second set of objects involves building a data link library (DLL) stub for the database server to run intermediate code language on the database server.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 21
Claim 1
Independent Claim
124 words
A method of sharing objects for a software project with a network server and a database server using a common object model, comprising the steps of: storing a first set of objects in a common file accessible by the network server and the database server, the first set of objects comprising network server executable logic; storing a second set of objects in the common file, the second set of objects comprising database server executable logic; publishing the first set of objects to the network server; and building the second set of objects in the database server wherein building the second set of objects comprises building a data link library (DLL) stub for the database server to run intermediate code language on the database server.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
124 words
A method of sharing objects for a software project with a network server and a database server using a common object model, comprising the steps of: storing a first set of objects in a common file accessible by the network server and the database server, the first set of objects comprising network server executable logic; storing a second set of objects in the common file, the second set of objects comprising database server executable logic; publishing the first set of objects to the network server; and building the second set of objects in the database server wherein building the second set of objects comprises building a data link library (DLL) stub for the database server to run intermediate code language on the database server.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
14 words
The method of claim 1, wherein the first set of objects further comprises forms.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
41 words
The method of claim 1, wherein the building step comprises the steps of generating a second file from the database server executable logic and data referenced by the database server executable logic; and storing the second file in the database server.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
101 words
The method of claim 1, wherein the intermediate code language is pcode, and wherein the building step comprises the steps of: appending the common file with files referenced by the database server executable logic and an identifier for the files referenced by the database server executable logic; transmitting the appended common file to the database server; instantiating an object model from the appended common file; generating pcode from the appended common file; generating second common file comprising a definition of the database server executable logic and the pcode; and storing the second common file and the DLL in the database server.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
33 words
The method of claim 1, wherein the step of publishing the first set of objects to the network server comprises the step of copying the network server executable logic to the network server.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
37 words
The method of claim 5, wherein the first set of objects further comprises a form, and the step of publishing comprises the step of copying the network server executable logic and the form to the network server.
Claim 8
Independent Claim
132 words
An apparatus for sharing software project objects with a network server and a database server using a common object model, comprising: means for storing a first set of objects in a common file accessible by the network server and the database server, the first set of objects comprising network server executable logic; means for storing a second set of objects in the common file, the second set of objects comprising database server executable logic; means for publishing the first set of objects to the network server; and means for building the second set of objects in the database server, wherein the means for building the second set of objects comprises means for building a data link library (DLL) stub for the database server to run intermediate code language on the database server.
Claim 9
Independent Claim
132 words
An apparatus for sharing software project objects with a network server and a database server using a common object model, comprising: means for storing a first set of objects in a common file accessible by the network server and the database server, the first set of objects comprising network server executable logic; means for storing a second set of objects in the common file, the second set of objects comprising database server executable logic; means for publishing the first set of objects to the network server; and means for building the second set of objects in the database server, wherein the means for building the second set of objects comprises means for building a data link library (DLL) stub for the database server to run intermediate code language on the database server.
