The present application is directed towards systems and methods for providing user interfaces for management applications via a definition-based graphical user interface (GUI) framework for developing web based management applications for servers, intermediaries, routers, wide area network (WAN) accelerators, caches, switches, or any other type and form of computing device. The plug-in free framework reduces the server's resource consumption and bandwidth by making a full use of resources available on the client computing device or browser. A complete web application can be developed using JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) definitions along with a representational state transfer (REST) based application programming interface (API) efficiently using the framework, which may comprise light-weight pure JavaScript or similar executable code. In many embodiments, the framework may be layered in a model-view-controller (MVC) architecture easing resource consumption, maintenance and extensibility.

An embodiment of the present invention provides a system that enables a user to securely invoke a REST (Representational State Transfer) API (Application Programming Interface) at an application server. A client can establish a secure communication channel with an application server, and can send a request to the application server to invoke the REST API. The client can then receive a security token from an authentication system in response to authenticating the user with the authentication system. Next, the client can receive a nonce and a timestamp from the application server. The client can then determine a security token digest using the security token, the nonce, and the timestamp. Next, the client can resend the request to the application server to invoke the REST API with the security token digest. The application server can invoke the REST API if the security token digest is valid.

In accordance with an embodiment, described herein are systems and methods for implementing a distributed ledger a blockchain cloud service. The blockchain cloud service can include nodes of the distributed ledger and a REST proxy service component. The REST proxy service uses a service development kit for the distributed ledger to communicate with the distributed ledger, and can provide REST APIs for use by client applications to query through chaincodes, synchronously or asynchronously invoke transactions through the chaincodes, get transaction statuses, and get BCS proxy versions. The REST proxy service component can authenticate REST calls, and translate the REST calls into remote procedural calls, for use in interfacing with the distributed ledger. The REST proxy service component can further provide REST APIs that support the same functions which are provided by the BCS management console component, and provide a user interface for client applications to consume the BCS instance.

Embodiments of the invention provide techniques for processing messages transmitted between computer networks. Messages, such as requests from client devices for web services and other web content may be transmitted between multiple computer networks. Intermediary devices or applications such as proxy servers may receive, process, and transmit the messages between the communication endpoints. In some embodiments, a reverse proxy server may be configured to dynamically generate Representational State Transfer (REST) services and REST resources within the reverse proxy server. The REST services and REST resources within the reverse proxy server may handle incoming requests from client devices and invoke backend web services, thereby allowing design abstraction and / or enforcement of various security policies on the reverse proxy server.

A system for social bookmarking of a resource provided through a Web application that doesn't follow the representational state transfer architectural style (REST). When processing a request for a social bookmarking operation, the system searches for a URL and potentially other resource information within the document object model of a currently loaded Web page. If such resource information is found, then it is used to process the requested social bookmarking operation. Otherwise, if such resource information is not found in the document object model, then the system uses the URL stored in the location bar of the Web browser to process the requested social bookmarking operation. The system includes semantic information in the DOM of a Web page that is used to identify subsets of content within the Web page that can be socially bookmarked. The semantic information of the disclosed system is stored in what are generally referred to as “microformatting”. The disclosed microformatting indicates consistent URLs (e.g. permalinks) for returning particular corresponding resources within the Web page. A social bookmarking engine can provide enhanced bookmarklets and browser plug-in to scan each received Web page that is loaded into a Web browser.

Techniques are disclosed for consuming and integrating with representational state transfer (REST) based services. In one embodiment, a multiple-step extract, transform, load (ETL) job includes one or more REST steps. Each step in the ETL job performs a particular well-defined task, and the REST step in particular constructs REST requests, invokes REST services, and retrieves REST responses. The REST step may be mapped to a vector of inputs such that multiple REST service calls are made for each of the inputs. Further, a reusable connection may be employed so that one connection can be used to make multiple REST service calls. URLs used to make REST service calls may be dynamically constructed based on input data parameters and ETL job parameters. Additionally, a graphical user interface (GUI) allows users to configure aspects of a REST step.

A framework, which conforms to the OAuth standard, involves a generic OAuth authorization server that can be used by multiple resource servers in order to ensure that access to resources stored on those resource servers is limited to access to which the resource owner consents. Each resource server registers, with the OAuth authorization server, metadata for that resource server, indicating scopes that are recognized by the resource server. The OAuth authorization server refers to this metadata when requesting consent from a resource owner on behalf of a client application, so that the consent will be of an appropriate scope. The OAuth authorization server refers to this metadata when constructing an access token to provide to the client application for use in accessing the resources on the resource server. The OAuth authorization server uses this metadata to map issued access tokens to the scopes to which those access tokens grant access.

The present invention discloses a data structure which, given an identifier for a Representational State Transfer (REST) resource, can rapidly yield a configured target and simultaneously yield all configured pattern based rules and constraints for the target. The disclosed data structure is a tree structure including nodes for URL portions. Each node is associated with a hash tree specifically grown in a manner that ensures collision occurrences are non-existent. The tree structure is effectively two or more superimposed trees; one for URL pattern matching to determine a target, another for determining constraints. A single tree traversal, which can be based on a progressive hash, can be used to concurrently determine a target and a set of constraints, which represents improved performance over conventional implementations that require multiple, distinct query / response operations to produce equivalent results.

With the adoption of the technical scheme, modular development management, dynamic configuration and extension of a web application can be achieved.
