System and Method for a User Interface Controller for Mandatory and Shared User Interface Functions

摘要

Systems and methods for sharing mandatory and shared user interface (UI) functions among UIs that share a common main business object are disclosed. Such embodiments include a UI controller having a superclass for implementing mandatory UI functions, a delegation class for implementing shared UI functions, and a concrete UI controller classes corresponding to concrete UIs associated with the same business object. The concrete UI classes inherit the superclass and selectively delegate to the delegation class. Thus, a concrete UI can be instantiated and operated using a corresponding concrete UI controller class. When a UI action is received, the UI controller can trigger the corresponding mandatory or shared UI functions. The UI controller can handle setting common UI parameters, UI function specific and default parameters. The separate handling of the mandatory and shared UI functions increases the flexibility, organization, and efficiency of developing and implementing multiple UIs.
