Software systems that rely on the component paradigm build new components by assembling existing prefabricated components. Most currently available IDEs support graphical components such as .NET Controls or JavaBeans for building GUI applications. Even though all those IDEs support arrangement and layout of those desktop components, composition support is rather limited. None of the most important composition environments support built-in validation of composition for .NET components or JavaBeans no further than type checking. Our approach addresses these problems with lightweight extensions of existing component models with metadata attributes. We enhance the built-in composition facilities of the component model and the composition environment to exploit those metadata attributes. As we show the metadata attributes may be used to support required interfaces, constraint checks for method invocation or if all participants in a component collaboration satisify a certain protocol.
