METHOD AND SYSTEM OF DEVELOPING A SOFTWARE WITH UTILIZING EXTENTED METADATA OF COMPONENT UNDER COMPONENT-BASED DEVELOPMENT ENVIRONMENT

摘要

The present invention relates a component-based software development technology, and more particularly to so-called the Active Binding Technology which allows the software development by assemblinging the components released under a component-based development platform. The present invention discloses a new type of component with extended metadata, which includes the interface information about the dependent contract of a component thereby enabling a program developer to assemble the components in a multi-layered structure and/or on the distributed network.
