Abstract
A configuration creator for use in creating a terminal application for a target apparatus. The configuration creator comprises: (i) an indexing routine for examining available software components that can be used in the terminal application and ascertaining possible type-safe relationships for each software component, (ii) a graphical user interface including a control area for displaying classes that can be used in the terminal application, and an association area for creating instances of the displayed classes and allowing type-safe relationships to be established between created instances, and (iii) a file creation routine for creating a configuration file including code describing created instances and relationships established between the created instances. The configuration file can subsequently be parsed to create a terminal application for use in a target apparatus, such as a self-service terminal.
