Method for representing connections for validation during an automated configuration of a product
First Claim
1. A method of representing connections in a computer system:
- instantiating a component object representing a component in the computer system;
instantiating a connection requesting object representing a connection to the component;
requesting a type of resource for the component object, wherein the connection requesting object transmits the request to a connection providing object, the connection object providing two or more resources;
determining if one of the provided two or more resources is of a same type of resource as the requested type of resource and if the respective one of the provided two or more resources is available for consumption; and
if the respective one of the provided two or more resources is of the same type of resource and is available for consumption, consuming the respective one of the two or more resources and creating the connection.

Abstract
A method, system, and computer-readable medium for representing connections in a computer system are provided. A component object representing a component in the computer system and a connection requesting object representing a connection to the component are instantiated. A type of resource for the component object is requested, wherein the connection requesting object transmits the request to a connection providing object, the connection object providing two or more resources. If one of the provided two or more resources is of a same type of resource as the requested type of resource and if the respective one of the provided two or more resources is available for consumption, the respective one of the two or more resources is consumed.
