A forms engine allows data sharing between customizable on-line forms, such as college admissions applications. Before applying, an applicant opens an account with a third party application servicer. After the applicant completes an application for one institution, the data is saved in a data base and automatically populates fields in subsequent application forms. The form for each institution is created from a form description file. Each form is branded for its institution and forms for different institutions differ in appearance and content so that the presence of the third party servicer is transparent to the applicant.The system is extensible without programming, allowing new applicant attributes to be readily incorporated into the system and allowing the content and appearance of the application to be readily changed by changing the description file. The use of aliases for applicant attributes permits data to be readily shared between forms even though labeled and arranged differently on different forms. Information stored about each attribute allows the specification of data validation rules and data sharing and grouping rules, as well as dependency rules that permit application page content to depend on applicant's responses on a previous page.

The present invention provides methods and systems for accessing a network URL through a pre-assigned simplified network address, correlating to the URL, and for displaying the home page having the URL as its address.

The invention discloses an SFC OAM method and a node device, and relates to the field of Internet equipment. The SFC OAM method comprises that when a source-end service node carries out OAM operation on alias information, the source-end service node determines an SFC or a service function path bound to the alias information; and the source-end service node carries out OAM operation on the determined SFC or service function path to generate a corresponding OAM message and send the OAM message to a target-end service node of the OAM operation. According to the technical scheme of the invention, an operator can obtain link information of the service chain simply and rapidly, and diagnose and locate the link information of the service chain, and thus, different SFC OAM can be realized rapidly and simply.

A method of data reshaping for multidimensional dynamic array objects in the presence of multiple object instantiations. The method includes collecting all alias information using interprocedural point escape analysis, and collecting all shape information using interprocedural shape analysis. The method progresses with selecting the candidate dynamic objects based on alias and shape analysis, and determining the types of data reshaping for the candidate dynamic objects. The method further includes creating objects for selected dynamic objects with multiple object instantiations. The method proceeds by updating the memory allocation operations for the selected dynamic objects and inserting statements to initialize object descriptors. The method further includes creating the copy of the object descriptors for selected dynamic object assignments. The method concludes by replacing the object references by array-indexed references for selected dynamic objects using object descriptors.

A method and system for replacing data in a design template. An end-user may provide a dynamic, structured client data set to be adapted to a predetermined, structured design template (e.g., a map or report). A repository of design templates may be searched to discover a list of candidate templates that may be capable of matching the client data. The end-user may select a design template that may be capable of showing the client data. The server may match the client data to a data structure for a candidate design template by using a data replacement approach, such as a column / alias approach. The end-user may potentially enlarge the matching set by providing information to help the matching algorithm; for example, providing column aliases where the matching algorithm may match template data column and column alias names with those specified for the client dataset.
