Method and system for dynamically generating category-based views

摘要

Embodiments of the present invention provide a method and system for dynamically creating a view in a distributed processing system. The system can have nodes such as a service node and a directory with entries. An object class of a view can be defined as including an attribute type that accommodates a new attribute value. An attribute value associated with one of the nodes can be received at the service node whereupon it can be determined whether the attribute value is associated with the new attribute value. A new view can be created if the attribute value is associated with the new attribute value.
