1. A method for generating a client/server data processing system comprising the steps of: developing a meta model of objects defining required processing logic; a model generator automatically transforming the meta model into an application model of objects required for the data processing system; a code generator automatically transforming the application model to server code by generating code for the application model objects; an interface definition generator automatically generating an interface definition client representation, a client interface generator automatically transforming said client representation into client code for client interfaces to server functions; completing client code by developing client user interface code; and loading the server and client code onto a hardware platform to complete a client/server data processing system.
