Abstract:
1. A method of generating deployment descriptor files for automation of installation and integration of computing system solution components, the method comprising: associating a plurality of configurable behavioral models with a system solution design, each of said models being associated with a class or type of system solution component; configuring a plurality of instantiations of said behavioral models to contain one or more behavioral parameters according to a set of user inputs; responsive to a user attempting to define an connection between two of said behavioral model instances: generating one or more deployment descriptors by extracting said behavioral parameters, said configuration parameters, and said option parameters from each configured behavioral model instance and from each sub-template; producing a deployment descriptor file in a computer storage memory for each of said connected instances compatible with a targeted computer according to said extracted parameters; packaging said configured behavioral model instances and said deployment descriptor files into an application package; and automatically deploying one or more of said configured behavioral model instances onto said computer according to said deployment descriptors in said application package.
