The present invention provides an improved general-purpose system and method for providing dynamically updateable, context-sensitive configuration information based on the state of the application, external configuration data and a set of rules associated with that data. An application definition repository stores application configuration data and rules for managing the application. An application context manager applies application context data to the rules and evaluates the rules to get a context-based result for the application. The application context manager parses the rules and applies retrieved context data and symbols to the rules to reach a result. In addition, an application configuration engine applies the context-based result of evaluating the rules to provide, to a client, information for configuring the application appropriately based on the application context. The application configuration engine creates and manages one or more application objects that can be given to the client to provide information about the configuration of an application.
