Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method for automating updates of an instance of configuration data for an administration client component in response to a change in the configuration data, the method comprising: coding, at a computer system, a builder method within a source file for the administration client component, the builder method being implemented to construct an in-memory data structure representing one or more configuration data elements of a configuration object provided by a configuration service for the administration client component; implementing an interface within the source file by processing the source file through a transformer engine of the computer system, the interface providing a mapping between the one or more configuration data elements represented in the in-memory data structure and one or more corresponding data elements of a listener object representing changes to the configuration object, the mapping being implemented to update the in-memory data structure at runtime whenever a change to the configuration object is signaled to the listener object, wherein implementing the interface comprises, compiling the source file in response to the implementing to create a compiled file; and executing the compiled file.
