RUNTIME DEPENDENCY CONFIGURATION UTILITY - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17977806 titled 'RUNTIME DEPENDENCY CONFIGURATION UTILITY

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for executing an application with multiple mutually-exclusive dependencies associated with an interface. The method involves scanning a repository of implementations, filtering them based on configuration keys, selecting one implementation for dependency injection, and initializing configurations specific to the injected dependency.

  • The method involves scanning a repository of implementations using a configuration utility.
  • Implementations are filtered based on configuration keys.
  • One implementation is selected for dependency injection based on matching configurations.
  • Configurations specific to the injected dependency are initialized.

Original Abstract Submitted

A method is presented for executing an application having multiple mutually-exclusive possible dependencies associated with an interface. First, a repository of implementations is scanned using a configuration utility to identify a subset of the implementations tagged for usability with the configuration utility. The configuration utility identifies keys within each of the subset of implementations, and filters the implementations by these configuration keys. The configuration utility scans configurations for a match with any of the identified configuration keys, and selects one implementation from among the subset of the implementations for dependency injection based on matching of configurations with the identified configuration keys. The configuration utility then injects a dependency using the selected implementation, and initializes configurations specific to the injected dependency.
