Information processing apparatus, processing method, and computer-readable recording medium having processing program recorded thereon

A method of processing an application program including multiple types of functional elements in an information processing apparatus, the method comprising:

• a control definition information obtaining that obtains, for the application program, using a functional element identification name that is arbitrary set to a functional element, the functional element identification name from control definition information for which control information related to the application program is defined;
• a functional element definition information obtaining that obtains, by referencing to functional element definition information configured related to a functional element ID unique to the functional element identification name, the functional element ID corresponding to the functional element identification name obtained at the control definition information obtaining;
• and
• a setup that sets up the application program in the information processing apparatus in accordance with control information related to the application program defined in the control definition information, using the functional element ID obtained at the functional element definition information obtaining.

A computer-readable recording medium having a processing program stored thereon, the processing program making a computer to process an application program including multiple types of functional elements, the processing program makes the computer to execute:

• a control definition information obtaining that obtains, for the application program, using a functional element identification name that is arbitrary set to a functional element, the functional element identification name from control definition information for which control information related to the application program is defined;
• a functional element definition information obtaining that obtains, by referencing to functional element definition information configured related to a functional element ID unique to the functional element identification name, the functional element ID corresponding to the functional element identification name obtained at the control definition information obtaining;
• and
• a setup that sets up the application program in the information processing apparatus in accordance with control information related to the application program defined in the control definition information, using the functional element ID obtained at the functional element definition information obtaining.

A method of generating functional element definition information that generates functional element definition information used for startup processing of in an information processing apparatus, an application program including multiple types of functional elements, the method comprising:

• a first obtaining that obtains a functional element identification name set for the functional element and a functional element ID uniquely set for the functional element identification name from a code file of the application program;
• a second obtaining that obtains the functional element identification name and related information registered associated with the functional element identification name from a resource file of the application program;
• and
• a combination that generate the functional element definition information by combining the functional element identification name and the functional element ID obtained at the first obtaining and the functional element identification name and the related information obtained at the second obtaining based on the functional element identification name.
