Abstract
A method and apparatus for providing a pluggable and extendable J2EE architecture are provided. The method and apparatus provide mechanisms for defining extension points within modules of the J2EE application and mechanisms for defining plug-in or extension modules that may be integrated into the J2EE application via these extension points. In addition, a mechanism for merging the plug-in or extension modules into the J2EE application at deployment is provided such that all of the information necessary for generating instantiations of the plug-in or extension modules is integrated into the J2EE application configuration files. As a result, an integrated J2EE application is made possible from a modularized and extendable development of the J2EE application.
