Abstract
A container application is a native application that allows a web based application to access a computer's system resources and windowing system. Web based applications are downloaded from application servers and run inside container applications. The container application provides the web based application with the information required for accessing system resources or can act as an intermediary between the web based application and the operating system, windowing system, or native applications. If a container application is associated with a window, then the web based application can alter or control many, or all, aspects of the container application's content area and meta user interfaces (UIs).
