Integrated administrative interface for open network programming applications

摘要

A method is provided in one example embodiment and includes compiling a schema definition file associated with a non-native application into a command file, the non-native application being executable in connection with a network element; creating at least one parse chain for the non-native application; storing the at least one parse chain in a database; and receiving a first command associated with the non-native application from a network administrator. The method further includes parsing the received first command as specified by the at least one parse chain to extract data therefrom; and presenting the extracted data to the non-native application, in which the extracted data is formatted as specified in the associated schema definition file prior to the presenting.
