User-selected customization information for a network (e.g., HTML) document is stored at a server with reference to user identifying information that uniquely identifies the user. Whenever the user navigates back to the network address of the HTML document, the user is identified automatically and receives a customized HTML document formed in accordance with the customization information.

An assembly method and system for assembling components into an assembly. An assembly provides connectors through which the components can be exported and through which an external entity can be imported. An exported component can be connected to another assembly by importing that exported component into that other assembly. A connector can both expose components to be exported and expose connections through which an external entity can be imported. The assembly provides a mechanism through which the connectors can be exposed to external entities. An external entity can use the connector providing mechanism to retrieve a connector and then use the retrieved connector to export components and establish connections by importing external entities. In addition, the use of a standard connector and of a standard connector providing mechanism allows predefined components to be assembled into assemblies that can expose certain behavior of the components through the connectors in a predefined manner.
