Abstract
One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that facilitates deploying components on a client. During operation, the system establishes a communication session through a network connection between the client and a server. Next, the system migrates components from the server to the client, wherein the components provide services and are able to use services provided by other components. Finally, the client installs the components on the client, thereby allowing the components to provide services on the client. Note that by supporting deployment of components on the client in this way, the system facilitates a unified component architecture across the client and the server.
