ABSTRACT:
The system uses an intermediary process in an object oriented computer environment to allow application objects to perform operations such as creation, deletion and accessing of other objects. Typically the other objects are database objects. The intermediary process allows associations to be made between add-on attributes and primary objects. The primary objects are objects that are designed to be used by an original application. A later application that wishes to use the same objects as the original application, but with additional attributes, can create, delete and access the additional attributes at run time so that extra functionality is provided to a user of the original application program in an efficient manner.
