A metadata driven system for supporting business application software required in the middle tier for a line of business applications includes a process metadata module adapted to store a process in metadata format, wherein the process object contains logic related to an entity of the application software. The system allows for persistence of various entities like accounts, incidents, etc. , and allows an end user of the business application software to create new types of entities. The system also allows the end user to perform critical business logic operations even on the new entities defined by the end user after the deployment of the business application without requiring recompilation of the business application software. The metadata driven approach allows to easily make changes to business applications and to automate quality assurance of objects built on top of the business applications.

A method for organizing task data used in customer relationship management systems in which task data is decomposed into a set of business activity classes including a set of business task classes, where the business task classes are combined through association or multiple inheritance to create the business activity class. Each task class can be further decomposed into a base task class and a set of task characteristic classes where task definitions may be modified by associating additional task characteristic classes to the base task class.

A method for updating a database that combines the advantages of both the migration and incremental approach may resolve some of the problems associated with earlier methods. This may be accomplished by a methodology which incrementally updates new data while using the migration approach to create an entirely new schema. Such a method might compare the metadata from both the existing database and the data update to generate a new schema and integrate new data into the database.

A metadata driven software development system provides various functionalities related to an entity of an application in the metadata format. Specifically, the system provides a set of base classes related to the entity and a set of methods and application programming interfaces for various operations to be performed on the entities in the metadata format. Defining such functionalities in the metadata format allows the system to dynamically generate XML messages matching any customized schema for that entity. Because such functionality is metadata driven, this system can be used with customized versions of the application without requiring any additional code or recompilation.

The described implementations relate to computer programming. One implementation provides a technique that can include storing logic expressions in a data file. The technique can also include executing application code. The executing can include receiving a query, reading an individual logic expression from the data file, processing the query using the individual logic expression to determine a query result, and providing the query result in response to the query.
