  • System and method for employing externalized, dynamically configurable, cacheable trigger points
    Patent number: 6954924
    Abstract: There is provided a method for employing a trigger point in a logic flow. The trigger point has at least one function associated therewith. A default strategy set is associated with the at least one function of the trigger point. The default strategy set has a capability of being replaced, in whole or in part, by a non-default strategy set. The strategy sets are for implementing the at least one function of the trigger point. The trigger point is dynamically configured, including establishing at least one context for the trigger point that respectively specifies a location of the strategy sets. The trigger point is executed when encountered during an execution of the logic flow, including selectively executing at least a portion of at least one of the default strategy set and the non-default strategy set based upon a current context from among the at least one context.
