METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MANAGEMENT OF COMPONENT CONNECTIONS

摘要

A method and system for managing the connection of client components to an interface implemented by a server component. In a preferred embodiment, a us er component provides an implementation of an interface and a description of the interfac e. A component manager aggregates the user component into itself to form a server component . When a client requests a connection to the interface, the component manager retriev es a reference to the interface from the user component and sends the reference to the client components. In a preferred embodiment, the component manager tracks the client components connected through an interface. A user component may also provide multiple interfaces to client components which the component manager also tracks.
