1. A computer-readable storage medium having computer-executable components executed by a computer system causing the computer system to provide access to Component Object Model (COM) configuration data about applications and services, in a runtime environment, sourced by one or more datastores, the components comprising:

  • a runtime catalog accessible by a server application and running on a server;

    one or more table object dispensers called by the runtime catalog in response to a request for COM configuration data; and

    a table system created by the one or more table object dispensers in response to the runtime catalog, the table system providing the COM configuration data to the server application, the server application executing with the COM configuration data, the table system including;

    one or more datastores to store the COM configuration data;

    one or more logic table objects to present the COM configuration data; and

    one or more data table objects created by the one or more logic table objects, each data table object exposing a table cursor into one of the datastores, each data table object bound to one of the datastores;

    wherein the one or more logic table objects supplement functionality of the one or more data table objects by intercepting interface calls and providing, at least one of, additional and overriding functionality of the one or more data table objects or the one or more logic table objects synthesize data, according to a type of request for COM configuration data, which is not available from the one or more data table objects.
