To build, deploy, service and manage customizable and configurable reusable applications.
This framework is defined declaratively as a manifest having a strict ID. The application manifest can declare appropriate ways to configure or customize the application in a form protected by security, and provides the ability to only grant such a right to authorized parties. A further aspect of this application provides a framework for an application deployment to be defined declaratively with a manifest having an ID of the customized application. Such a framework provides a way for the system, state infrastructure, setup programs, authoring tools, and management tools to deploy, install, service and manage the customized application by using a firm composite application ID.
