The demo shows the following features of RComponents,

Component service enumeration and selection
Interface and component introspection
Remote activation & registration
Delegation and method invocation
Runtime dynamic evolution
Dynamic custom exception handling
Metalevel manipulation through,
- Intercession
- Interface evolution
- Component interface version preservation, & backward compatibility
- Type-safe method introduction through interface evolution
- Behavioural manipulation through logic substitution
Component inheritance
Component & client remote events and notifications
XML ADL for verification of component deployment prior to application invocation.
Dynamic code (delegation) pickup by components, ensuring that any recompiled code is reloaded into the RComponents delegation tables. Components do not need to be re-registered to update existing behaviour, or change configuration state.
