Abstract
Plural modes of operation, each associated with a class attribute, may be established on a mobile device. The present application discloses a method of handling an application launch request, a computing device for carrying out the method and a computer readable medium for adapting a processor to carry out the method. The method includes receiving a launch request identifying an application that is to be launched, acquiring an identity for the application, acquiring a class for the application, labeling the application with the identity and the class and launching the application. The application's identity and class may then be taken into consideration when processing a request to access a store or create a new store. Notably, an application may request access to a store managed by a certificate manager, rather than accessing the store directly. Conveniently, a resource manager may handle parsing of a file path to the store.
