Abstract: The exemplary embodiments of the present invention provide a system, method and computer program products for designing custom framework components for an image. The method includes receiving the image to be framed and determining if the image to be framed is to include a mat as one of the framework components. The method further includes determining if a molding is to be utilized as one of the framework components and resizing the framework components in proportion to the image to be framed.

Abstract: An extensible object model enables extending the standard methods and/or properties of an extensible object for an application through an extension object proffered at run time by an extension package Information about the extension package is registered in a database when the package is installed, and the database is used to resolve references to the extended methods and/or properties upon execution of the application. In one aspect of the invention, the extension object is cached when first referenced and subsequent references to the extension while the application is executing are resolved to the cache.
