Abstract

To provide a component processing system and a component processing method in which components used by a plurality of applications are centrally managed, thereby enabling efficient response to changes in the components. Component environment definition information that shows locations of components used by the individual applications is composed of a component location definition information that defines the locations of the components, a component use definition information that defines the components to be used; and an application location definition information that includes an information designating the component use definition information corresponding to the individual applications. In response to a request from the application, a component managing unit in a framework requests a middleware to acquire the location of the component to be used by this application, and the middleware reads the component environment definition information to respond to the component managing unit.
