Script-based object adaptation
First Claim
1. In a computing environment in which an interpreter interprets script to formulate a plurality of pipelined components, a method for a subsequent component in the plurality of pipelined components using information provided in at least a portion of an object provided by a previous component in the plurality of pipelined components, despite the subsequent component being incapable of recognizing a format of the at least a portion of the object as provided by the previous component, the method comprising:
- interpreting a first script and instantiating the previous component;
the previous component generating an object having a property, the property having been generated by the previous component as a result of interpreting the first script;
interpreting a second script and instantiating the subsequent component;
interpreting an adaptation script and identifying one or more adaptations to perform on the property of the generated object from the previous component;
performing the one or more adaptations on the property of the generated object in response to interpreting the adaptation script; and
providing the adapted property as input to the subsequent component.

Abstract
The adaptation of at least a portion of an object provided by a previous script component to a subsequent script component, despite the subsequent component being incapable of recognizing a format of the at least a portion of the object as provided by the previous component. The previous component generates an object having a property. Adaptation script identifies adaptation(s) to perform on the property prior to being used by the subsequent component. The adaptation is performed, and the adapted property is then used by the subsequent component.

10. A computer program product comprising one or more computer-readable storage media having thereon computer-executable instructions that, upon execution by one or more processors of a computing system, cause the computing system to perform:
instantiating in system memory an interpreter configured to perform a method comprising the following when interpreting script that represents a previous component and a subsequent component in a plurality of pipelined components, the script also including an adaptation script that identifies one or more adaptations to perform on a property of an object provided to the subsequent component by the previous component; instantiating the previous component; causing the previous component to generate an object having a property; instantiating the subsequent component; interpreting the adaptation script; performing the one or more adaptations on the property of the generated object from the previous component in response to interpreting the adaptation script; and providing the adapted property as input to the subsequent component. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A computing system comprising:
-
one or more processors; system memory; one or more physical computer-readable storage media having thereon computer-executable instructions that, upon execution by the one or more processors, causes the computing system to instantiate in the system memory an interpreter configured to perform a method comprising the following when interpreting script that represents a previous component and a subsequent component in a plurality of pipelined components, the script also including an adaptation script that identifies one or more adaptations to perform on a property of an object provided to the subsequent component by the previous component; instantiating the previous component; causing the previous component to generate an object having a property; instantiating the subsequent component; interpreting the adaptation script; performing the one or more adaptations on the property of the generated object from the previous component in response to interpreting the adaptation script; and providing the adapted property as input to the subsequent component. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18)
