    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for providing a multi-component application, including a first and second component. Functionality of the application may be easily and rapidly modified by modification to the first component, without requiring modification to the second component. The first component may be implemented locally at a client device, while the second component is implemented remotely. While modification of the second component may require privileges of a remote location, a user of a client device may modify the first component while maintaining interoperability and compatibility with the second component, thereby enabling the end user to modify functionality of the multi-component application. In some instances, different versions of a first component are provided, and an end user of a client device is enabled to specify which version of the first component should be used.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for providing a multi-component application, including a first and second component. Functionality of the application may be modified by modification of the first component, potentially without requiring modification of the second component. However, some functionalities added to application may require modifications to both the first and second component. To maintain compatibility between components, the first component can be configured to detect versioning information of a second component, and adjust its functionality to disable functions unavailable due to lack of compatibility with a current version of the second component. The first component can notify an end user of any such lack of compatibility, and potentially instruct the end user in updating the second component.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for providing a multi-component application, including a first and second component. A client device may be provisioned with the application in a manner that, from the point of view of an end user, is similar to access a single component application. A user may use a client device to attempt to access a second component to provide the application. The second component can instruct the client device to first obtain a first component from a different network location. The client device can obtain the first component and execute the first component to use the second component, thereby providing the multi-component application. Other than submission of an initial request to access the application, provisioning of the multi-component application may be programmatic and potentially invisible to an end user, thereby providing an experience similar to accessing a single component application.
