Run-time modification of an application definition schema that controls the behavior of a software application

Abstract:

Techniques for modifying application behavior at run-time are disclosed. The application behavior is controlled as a function of an application definition schema that is deployed and maintained independently of the application. The application definition schema maps tasks to operations, object types, layouts, and/or fields. A change in the application definition schema results in a change, for example, in the operations performed by an application to complete a task.
