The present invention is directed generally to client-server, client-host, or server-server communications in a distributed computer network and, more particularly, to enhancing of resource adapters adapted to facilitate such communications. The present invention is directed to enhancing resource adapters that work with screens. Aspects of the invention, which may be incorporated into or communicate with existing resource adapters, provide a standard screen record for manipulating data on a screen image. The standard screen record provides support for instances where prior knowledge of the screen format or layout is known and for those instances where there is no knowledge of the screen format. Additionally, the standard screen record provides detailed data describing all attributes of a field and of the screen image itself. Additionally, the invention also provides easy access to the field attribute data. In some embodiments, aspects of the invention may include interfaces which enable tooling to be developed which can then be used to develop applications which utilize the functionality of the other aspects of the invention. This interface could provide a common way for tooling to support resource adapters that implemented the interface.

L'invention concerne généralement les communications client-serveur, client-hôte ou serveur-serveur dans un réseau informatique réparti et, notamment, l'amélioration d'adaptateurs de ressources conçus pour faciliter lesdites communications. L'invention porte sur l'amélioration d'adaptateurs de ressources fonctionnant avec des écrans. Selon certains aspects de l'invention, un article d'écran standard conçu pour la manipulation des données sur une image d'écran, peut être intégré aux adaptateurs de ressources ou communiquer avec eux. L'article d'écran standard assure le support pour des instances dans lesquelles le format d'écran ou sa disposition est connu au préalable et pour des instances dans lesquelles le format d'écran est inconnu. De plus, l'article d'écran standard fournit des données détaillées décrivant tous les attributs d'un champ et de l'image d'écran elle-même. L'invention porte encore sur l'accès facile aux données d'attributs de champ. Dans ces modes de réalisation, des interfaces permettent la mise au point d'outillage pouvant être utilisé pour la mise au point d'applications utilisant la fonctionnalité d'autres aspects de l'invention. Ladite interface peut fournir une voie commune pour que l'outillage prenne en charge les adaptateurs de ressources ayant mis en oeuvre l'interface.
