Abstract

A method is described for managing a communication between a server device and a customer device. The method comprises interchanging between the server device and the customer device one or more parameter messages that are comprising a parameter description for a parameter name. The parameter description does consist of an hierarchical tree-like structure of characters with each level separated by a predefined character (dot). The method further comprises a step of instantiating by an instantiating device of the customer device, an iterator associated to an index, for a next level of a parameter-sub-tree being part of the global parameter description, and a step of recalling an object array for the parameter-sub-tree with the next level having different values for its index starting with a predefined start-value and ending with a predefined end-value.
