DYNAMIC CREATION OF SUBSERVICES

摘要

Methods and devices for enabling communication of a client application of a computing device with other devices are provided. The method includes obtaining, from a first client application on the computing device, one or more preferences for creating a first subservice for communicating with the other devices. A template service file associated with the first client application is identified and the template service file includes property definitions for creating subservices that communicate with the other devices. The template service file is used to create a first configuration file corresponding to the first client application, the a first configuration file including a plurality of the property definitions of the template service file. At least one of the plurality of the property definitions is modified using the one or more preferences. The first configuration file is stored in a memory of the computing device.

1. A computer-implemented method for enabling communication of a client application of a computing device with another device, the method comprising, at the computing device:
identifying a template service file associated with a first client application on the computing device, wherein the template service file includes property definitions for creating subservices that communicate with the other device; obtaining, from the first client application, one or more preferences for creating a first subservice for communicating with the other device; using the template service file to create a first configuration file corresponding to the first client application based on the one or more preferences, the first configuration file including a plurality of the property definitions of the template service file; storing the first configuration file in a memory of the computing device; receiving a request from the first client application to create a first instance of the first subservice for communicating with the other device; using the first configuration file to create the first instance of the first subservice; and communicating data of the first client application with the other device using the first instance of the first subservice.
