Abstract
A system uses generative aspect oriented programming to propagating context between components in a component server, the system produces code that, when executed, implicitly propagates authenticating context between a client component and an invoked component which the client component invokes in a component server. The system generates a function that allows the specification of a timeout between the client component and the invoked component that the client component invokes in the component server. The timeout function receives a user-defined timeout value to be applied for interface invocations between the client component and the invoked component. The system further generates a function declaration that, upon execution, discloses a target component identity between a client component and an invoked component that the client component invokes in the component server. The target component identity specifies a specific identity of a target computer system to which an interface invocation between the client component and the invoked component is directed.
