Context aware capabilities

Abstract:

Different server engines may be used to process queries from a client application. The different engines may have different capabilities and support different features. A server may only provide system level capabilities such that it will indicate that it is not capable of supporting a particular feature if not all of its engines are capable of supporting that feature. In order to use features actually supported, a client application may override the server's feature support information using a client library. The client application may render user interface dialogs supporting a particular feature based on the feature support information from the server as modified by the client library. The dialog may be used to query the server using the feature indicated as not being supported by the server at a system level.
