Abstract:
1. A method, comprising accepting as input, at a parsing module executing on a client computer, a parent initialization file, wherein the parent initialization file includes one or more override conditions based on membership of a user of the computer in a group and wherein the parent initialization file identifies a child initialization file; conditionally processing, in the parsing module, the child initialization file before processing the parent initialization file, if indicated by the one or more of the override conditions; conditionally processing, in the parsing module, the child initialization file after processing the parent initialization file, if indicated by the one or more of the override conditions; conditionally processing, in the parsing module, the child initialization file without completely processing the parent initialization file, if indicated by the one or more of the override conditions; and creating as output, at the parsing module, a set of configuration data, wherein the set of configuration data comprises data for configuration of an application program to be executed on the client computer.
