Abstract

The present invention discloses a system and method supporting high-level configuration of Business Object Types during development of an application. More specifically an application developer is supported with predefined pieces of functionality and meta-data, so called Aspect Types, during the configuration of Business Object Types. An Aspect Type may operate across one or more Business Object Types depending on the functionality of the Aspect Type, e.g. an Aspect Type 'Relation' Aspect Type comprises functionality that provides for connection between two or more Business Objects. The functionality comprised in an Aspect Type may be configured with an Event Type so runtime an Event Instance of the Event Type may be triggered either by the functionality of the configured Aspect Type or by e.g. a user of the application.
