System and method for providing flexible network service application components
First Claim
1. A system for providing an application component where the application component enables a service to be managed as an independent entity comprising:
- a context for containing logic and data associated with a service session;
a faç
ade for containing context-independent service logic wherein the faç
ade is not associated with the service session; and
an event portal for providing entry and exit interfaces.

Abstract
The flexible service application components (“FSACs”) of the present invention enable services to be defined by logic and data, as well as other functions, such as operations, administration, and management. The flexible service application components of the present invention enable a service designer (and/or other entity) the ability to create an integrated component that represents a service feature. Thus, a FSAC may be developed to encapsulate protocol-specific interactions and present a homogenous interface to a feature FSAC. Hence, the present invention enables application-level FSACs that may be protocol-independent.
