Abstract
A system for collaborating components or objects in a visual development environment is detailed. Collaboration is effected by augmenting eligible components or objects with appropriate collaboration code and registering such components or objects with a server application designated for that purpose which resides on the same HTTP server where the applet that spawned the components to be collaborated also resides. The server application first registers objects or components or portions thereof to be collaborated, builds a record of such links and thereafter interacts with the collaborated components or designated portions thereof to publish, unpublish or update those components and objects, or portions thereof, in accordance with the application server record.
