SHARING UNRESOLVED INFORMATION BETWEEN SOFTWARE COMPONENTS

摘要

Techniques are disclosed which allow independent software components to share unresolved information with one another. Components may register with a component integration bus (CIB) as a provider or a consumer (or both) for a variety of different data types. The CIB may be further configured to store and share component information with users of the CIB to broker consumer-provider relationships between components included in an integrated solution package. The CIB may also validate the consumer-provider relationships between components included in such a package. Further, the CIB provides information useful to validate the solution package. Using the information from the CIB, components of the solution package are able to resolve unresolved information when the integrated solution is deployed on a remote system.
