ABSTRACT:
Deterministic rule-based dispatch of the data structure to a group of one or more methods. After accessing the data structure to be processed, a list of rules is evaluated to identify multiple rules that apply to the dispatch of the data structure. Each of these multiple rules specifies a different group of one or more methods to which the data structure should be dispatched. The multiple rules are resolved to a single prevailing rule that will be applied for the dispatch of the data structure. Then, the computing system dispatches the data structure to the group of one or more methods specified by the prevailing rule. The rule evaluation and prioritization is deterministic for ease in debugging since it may be determined which group of one or more methods processed a data structure should a performance problem arise during the processing. Furthermore, rules may be added, amended, or deleted dynamically.
