Selectively enabling requests to backend executable application programs from a user interface in a multi-tier computer architecture

摘要

A method for selectively enabling requests includes There is a first list of in-development backend capabilities and a second list of ready-for-release backend capabilities. There is a third list of in-development middleware capabilities and a fourth list of ready-for-release middleware capabilities. There is a fifth list including backend capabilities which are exposed to a user interface by middleware capabilities, the fifth list being an intersection of the second list and the fourth list. There is a sixth list of development capabilities by taking an intersection of the first list and the third list combined with an intersection of the second list and the third list. Input is accepted from the user interface moving selected development capabilities from the sixth list to the fifth list. Requests from the user interface directed to the backend are selectively enabled to allow only requests directed to backend capabilities of the fifth list of capabilities.
