1. A method for accumulating a historical context of interactions between components, comprising:
- maintaining a plurality of components that each have a component context and which comprise at least one of a requester component and at least one of a service component;
identifying an interaction comprising the requester component requesting an operation to be performed by the service component by sending the component context of the requester component to the service component;
recording the operation in the component context of the service component and associating the operation with a status of incomplete;
changing the incomplete status of the operation after at least one of the operation is performed and the operation is denied; and
recording the component context of the requester component into the component context of the service component as contextual metadata.

Abstract
A system and method for accumulating a historical context of interactions between components is presented. A plurality of components that each have a component context and which include at least one of a requester component and at least one of a service component are maintained. An interaction including the requester component requesting an operation to be performed by the service component is identified by sending the component context of the requester component to the service component. The component context of the requester component is recorded into the component context of the service component as contextual metadata.

16. A system for accumulating a historical context of interactions between components, comprising:
-
a maintenance mechanism to maintain a plurality of components that each have a component context and which comprise at least one of a requester component and at least one of a service component; an identification mechanism to identify an interaction comprising the requester component requesting an operation to be performed by the service component by sending the component context of the requester component to the service component; a history mechanism to record the operation in the component context of the service component, to associate the operation with a status of incomplete, and to change the incomplete status of the operation after at least one of the operation is performed and the operation is denied; and a recording mechanism to record the component context of the requester component into the component context of the service component as contextual metadata. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)

23. An apparatus for accumulating a historical context of interactions between components, comprising:
-
means for maintaining a plurality of components that each have a component context and which comprise at least one of a requester component and at least one of a service component; means for identifying an interaction comprising the requester component requesting an operation to be performed by the service component by sending the component context of the requester component to the service component; means for recording the operation in the component context of the service component, means for associating the operation with a status of incomplete, and further means for changing the incomplete status of the operation after at least one of the operation is performed and the operation is denied; and means for recording the component context of the requester component into the component context of the service component as contextual metadata.
