Abstract

The disclosure generally describes computer-implemented methods, software, and systems for allowing provisioning of open data protocol (OData) services on top of a generic interaction layer (GenIL). One computer-implemented method includes receiving an OData-compliant request for data, determining a GenIL data provider to receive the OData-compliant request for data, determining the memory location of the data, requesting the data from the determined memory location, receiving the requested data from the determined memory location, converting, using at least one computer, the received data into an OData-compliant format, rendering an OData-compliant response, and transmitting the OData-compliant response.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
receiving an open data protocol (OData)-compliant request for data, wherein the OData-compliant request for data is for at least one of an object model or object-model-associated runtime data, wherein the object-model-associated runtime data is associated with an object model mapped from a generic interaction layer (GenIL)-compliant format to an OData-compliant format, and wherein the request is processed by a generic runtime component that remains stateless between individual OData-compliant requests for data and access to determined memory locations of the data;
determining, using at least one computer, a GenIL data provider to receive the OData-compliant request for data;
receiving the data from a determined memory location;
and
transmitting a rendered OData-compliant response based on the received data.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , comprising converting, using at least one computer, the received data into an OData-compliant format.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the OData-compliant request for data is generated pre-runtime.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , comprising rendering the OData-compliant response.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the GenIL data provider is for providing GenIL-compliant data for at least one of an object model or runtime data.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the request for data from the determined memory location is in a GenIL-compliant format.

7. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising constructing an OData object model from the received data.

8. A computer-program product, the computer program product comprising computer-readable instructions embodied on tangible, non-transitory media, the instructions operable when executed to perform operations to:
receive an open data protocol (OData)-compliant request for data, wherein the OData-compliant request for data is for at least one of an object model or object-model-associated runtime data, wherein the object-model-associated runtime data is associated with an object model mapped from a generic interaction layer (GenIL)-compliant format to an OData-compliant format, and wherein the request is processed by a generic runtime component that remains stateless between individual OData-compliant requests for data and access to determined memory locations of the data;
determine a GenIL data provider to receive the OData-compliant request for data;
receive the data from a determined memory location;
and
transmit a rendered OData-compliant response based on the received data.

9. The computer-program product of claim 8 , further comprising one or more instructions to convert the received data into an OData-compliant format.

10. The computer-program product of claim 8 , wherein the OData-compliant request for data is generated pre-runtime.

11. The computer-program product of claim 8 , further comprising one or more instructions to render the OData-compliant response.

12. The computer-program product of claim 8 , wherein the GenIL data provider provides GenIL-compliant data for at least one of an object model or runtime data.

13. The computer-program product of claim 8 , wherein the request for data from the determined memory location is in a GenIL-compliant format.

14. The computer-program product of claim 8 , further comprising one or more instructions to construct an OData object model from the received data.

15. A system, comprising:
a computer memory operable to store at least one of object model or object-model-associated runtime data; and
at least one hardware processor interoperably coupled to the computer memory and configured to:
receive an open data protocol (OData)-compliant request for data, wherein the OData-compliant request for data is for at least one of an object model or object-model-associated runtime data, wherein the object-model-associated runtime data is associated with an object model mapped from a generic interaction layer (GenIL)-compliant format to an OData-compliant format, and wherein the request is processed by a generic runtime component that remains stateless between individual OData-compliant requests for data and access to determined memory locations of the data;
determine a GenIL data provider to receive the OData-compliant request for data;
receive the data from a determined memory location;
and
transmit a rendered OData-compliant response based on the received data.

16. The system of claim 15 , further configured to convert the received data into an OData-compliant format.

17. The system of claim 15 , wherein the OData-compliant request for data is generated pre-runtime.

18. The system of claim 15 , further configured to render the OData-compliant response.

19. The system of claim 15 , wherein the GenIL data provider provides GenIL-compliant data for at least one of an object model or runtime data.

20. The system of claim 15 , further configured to construct an OData object model from the received data.

21. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
receiving an open data protocol (OData)-compliant request for data, wherein the request is processed by a generic runtime component that remains stateless between individual OData-compliant requests for data and access to determined memory locations of the data, wherein the OData-compliant request for data is generated pre-runtime and is for at least one of an object model or object-model-associated runtime data, and wherein the object-model-associated runtime data is associated with an object model mapped from a generic interaction layer (GenIL)-compliant format to an OData-compliant format;
determining a GenIL data provider to receive the OData-compliant request for data wherein the GenIL data provider provides GenIL-compliant data for at least one of an object model or runtime data;
receiving the data from a determined memory location, wherein a request for the data from the determined memory location is in a GenIL-compliant format;
and
transmitting a rendered OData-compliant response based on the received data converted into an OData-compliant format.
