Abstract: A system and method that facilitates the modeling of an architecture through XML configuration is presented. Using this system and method, system developers that are developing a modeled architecture may, before system implementation begins, visualize and understand the system architecture and behavior. Similarly, during the development and deployment phases, developers may monitor different graphical views and/or the controller implementation in order to determine the look and/or feel of the application. Accordingly, different view and/or controller implementations may be plugged into the present invention to give a different look and/or feel. The application may also be adapted to any system that uses any middleware or protocol to communicate.
