Abstract

In one embodiment, a method includes defining a parent structure including an extension. A polymorphic structure is defined for the extension. The polymorphic structure is associated with a plurality of client specialization structures, each client specialization being associated with a client in a plurality of clients. During runtime by a computing device, the parent structure is generated with an extension to a client specialization structure associated with one of the plurality of clients where client specialization structures associated with other clients are not visible to the parent structure.
