Abstract
The present invention is generally directed to methods, systems, and computer program products for configuring applications at runtime. Embodiments of the invention decouple code and configuration. Application configuration is externalized, allowing configuration to be composed at runtime based on client context. A client context for an application is sent to a configuration manager. One or more pluggable configuration providers at the configuration manager deduce values for use in configuring the application at runtime. Deduced values are composed into a configuration and the configuration returned to the application. Using the values in the composed configuration, the application can be configured to operate in the client context.
