component architecture
     
         a notion in object-oriented programming where
        "components" of a program are completely generic.  instead of
        having a specialised set of methods and fields they have
        generic methods through which the component can advertise the
        functionality it supports to the system into which it is
        loaded.  this enables completely dynamic loading of
        objects.  javabeans is an example of a component
        architecture.
