A system to provide control architecture comprises a control, a client and a client container. The control can hold client-side resources for an appropriate resource scope to achieve optimal performance and utilization of resources, wherein access to the client-side resources is parameterized by metadata annotation declared on the control. The client is capable of at least one of the following via the control performing a plurality of operations to access and/or configure the plurality of properties of the resource; and retrieving data from the resource. In addition, the client container is capable of maintaining an accumulated list of controls that have acquired resources; and releasing resources at the end of appropriate resource scope. The definition of the resource scope can be delegated to the client container within which the control is executing.

System and method for control architecture

A developer can express the logic offered by a Web service, or other network accessible service, using a standard programming language augmented with declarative annotations specifying preferences for exposing that logic as a Web service. At compile time, an enhanced compiler can analyze the annotated source file and automatically generate the mechanisms required to expose its functionality as a Web service or network accessible service.

Systems and methods for creating network-based software services using source code annotations

A deployable application component can be configured via external annotation overrides at runtime without having to restart the component. An annotation/manifest can be populated to the corresponding application component at build time. The application component can then be configured and changes can be saved as annotation override into an external descriptor in XML format at deploy time. Such external descriptor can then be distributed, parsed, and validated at runtime to configure/update the deployed application component upon receiving notification of deployment changes.

System and method for external override of annotations

Controls can reduce the complexity and learning curve associated with acting as a resource client by utilizing a unified client model that can provide access to diverse types of resources, the configuration options, operations, and events exposed by a resource. Controls can also provide transparent (to the client) resource management of connections, sessions, or other resources to be obtained on behalf of the client. In addition, an external configuration module can be utilized to define how properties can be bounded by external configurations, enabling the overriding of attributes of the resource at deployment time.
