Abstract

An application control method to control operations of applications by solving logical names described by development descriptors is provided. The method includes at least the step to create an allocation list that indicates allocation rules to allocate physical values to logical names described in applications, and the step to allocate physical values to the logical names described in the executed application according to an application status and the allocation rules in the allocation list.

Claims

1. An application control method to control operations of an application by solving logical names described by development descriptors, the method comprising the steps of:

creating an allocation list that indicates allocation rules to allocate physical values to the logical names described in the application; and

allocating physical values to the logical names described in the application being executed according to an application status and the allocation rules in the allocation list.

2. An application control method according to claim 1, further comprising the step of referring to a repository that indicates allocation rules used in a previous processing for creating the allocation list.

3. An application control method according to claim 1, further comprising the step of, upon creating the allocation list, referring to an allocation list that indicates usable allocation rules to present usable allocation rules.

4. An application control method according to claim 1, further comprising the step of referring to a list of unauthorized value detection methods representative of information for detecting unauthorized physical values, and detecting an error in the physical values.

5. An application control method according to claim 1, wherein the logical names and the physical values are environment entry names and environment entry values, respectively, and the environment entry values are allocated to the environment entry names on a Java execution platform.

6. An application control method according to claim 1, wherein a parameter allocation list that indicates allocation rules to allocate parameters representative of a plurality of logical names to physical values is created as the allocation list, and physical values are allocated to parameters corresponding to the logical names described in the application being executed according to an application status and the allocation rules in the parameter allocation list.

7. An application control method according to claim 6, further comprising the step of referring to a repository that indicates allocation rules used in a previous processing for creating the allocation list.

8. An application control method according to claim 6, further comprising the step of, upon creating the allocation list, referring to an allocation list that indicates usable allocation rules to present usable allocation rules.

9. An application control method according to claim 6, further comprising the step of referring to a list of unauthorized value detection methods representative of information for detecting unauthorized physical values, and detecting an error in the physical values.

10. An application control method according to claim 6, wherein the logical names and the physical values are environment entry names and environment entry values, respectively, and the environment entry values are allocated to the environment entry names on a Java execution platform.

11. An information processor that controls operations of an application by solving logical names described by development descriptors, the information processor comprising:

a parameter allocation editing tool that creates a parameter allocation list that indicates allocation rules to allocate parameters representative of a plurality of logical names described in the application to physical values; and

a parameter solving processing section that allocates physical values to parameters corresponding to logical names described in the application being executed according to an application status and the allocation rules in the parameter allocation list.

12. An information processor according to claim 11, further comprising a repository that indicates allocation rules used in a previous processing, wherein the parameter allocation list is created by referring to the repository.

13. An information processor according to claim 11, further comprising a usable allocation rule list that indicates usable allocation rules, wherein, upon creating the allocation list, the usable allocation rule list is referred to present usable allocation rules.

14. An information processor according to claim 11, further comprising a list of unauthorized value detection methods representative of information for detecting unauthorized physical values, wherein the list of unauthorized value detection methods is referred to detect an error in the physical values.

15. An information processor that controls operations of an application by solving logical names described by development descriptors, the information processor comprising:

a development tool that creates an allocation list that indicates allocation rules to allocate physical values to the logical names described in the application; and

a logical name solving processing section that allocates physical values to the logical name described in the application being executed according to an application status and the allocation rules in the allocation list.

16. An information processor according to claim 15, further comprising a repository that indicates allocation rules used in a previous processing, wherein the allocation list is created by referring to the repository.

17. An information processor according to claim 15, further comprising a usable allocation rule list that indicates usable allocation rules, wherein, upon creating the allocation list, the usable allocation rule list is referred to present usable allocation rules.

18. An information processor according to claim 15, further comprising a list of unauthorized value detection methods representative of information for detecting unauthorized physical values, wherein the list of unauthorized value detection methods is referred to detect an error in the physical values.

19. A program that renders a computer to function as an information processing unit that controls operations of an application by solving logical names described by development descriptors, wherein the program renders the computer to function as:

a parameter allocation editing tool that creates a parameter allocation list that indicates allocation rules to allocate parameters representative of a plurality of logical names described in the application to physical values; and

a parameter solving processing section that allocates physical values to parameters corresponding to logical names described in the application being executed according to an application status and the allocation rules in the parameter allocation list.

20. A program that renders a computer to function as an information processor that controls operations of an application by solving logical names described by development descriptors, wherein the program renders the computer to function as:

a development tool that creates an allocation list that indicates allocation rules to allocate physical values to the logical names described in the application; and

a logical name solving processing section that allocates physical values to the logical name described in the application being executed according to an application status and the allocation rules in the allocation list.
