Abstract

A method and architecture for using dynamically loaded plugins is described herein. The dynamically loaded plugin architecture comprises a parent context and a plugin repository. The parent context may define one or more reusable software components. The plugin repository may store one or more plugins. When a plugin is loaded, a child context may be created dynamically. The child context is associated with the plugin and inherits the one or more reusable software components from the parent context.
