Abstract
Dynamic software version selection is performed by executing a software component on a processing device having a binding library associated with a software component, where the binding library comprising a loader component and a binding component. The loader component serves as an intermediary between the software component and the binding component and the binding component comprises software component-side logic. The binding library is utilized to interface the software component with a remote server across a network environment. In response to a request to update to a different version of the library, the loader component selects a desired version of the library. The desired version of the library is loaded into memory of the processing device by logically disconnecting from the remote server, unloading a previously loaded library, loading the updated version of the library, and reconnecting to the remote server.
