Shareable Software Components
§  A shareable software component that one or more applications MAY use
at runtime
§  Save static footprint size by enabling multiple application suites to share
the same common code without packaging them redundantly
§  Reduced download times for applications that declare dependencies on
shared components
§  Each shared library exposes a set of classes and resources to
applications for their use just as if those classes and resources were
originally packaged within the application JAR
§  Different implementations of the same API can be can be accessed via
the Service Provider/Consumer pattern
Shared Libraries (LIBlets)

Service Provider/Consumer Pattern
§  Service is a well known set of interfaces/abstract classes;
Service Provider is an implementation of the service
§  Enables consumers to use services by one or more providers
§  Features of the Application Platform Framework
–  Ability of apps, shared libraries, or runtime to declare it provides a service (provider)
–  Ability of apps or shared libraries declare a dependency on a service (consumer)
–  Ability of the AMS to bind a consumer to a provider, and rebind on updates
–  Service provider executed in context of consumer (client application)
§  Benefits
–  Modular software design, increased reuse, easier updating, reduced
testing, reduced footprint
Based on Java SE ServiceLoader API

MEEP 8 Enhanced Security Model
§ “Clients” and Software Components
–  Clients are entities with particular security privileges (similar to users or
application vendors). Specialized clients are possible (e.g. “root client”).
–  Software components are associated with clients and inherit their
privileges
–  Authentication of clients and software components can be use case-
specific (e.g. specialized authentication scheme)
§ Security Privileges
–  Priviledges are based on clients and expressed as fine-grain permissions
–  Authorization (granting of permissions) can be use case-specific (e.g.
networked authorization services)
Flexibility to Support Specialized Security Scenarios
