1. A method of implementing a user interface to an application, comprising: storing at least one description document conforming to a user interface object model, defining a user interface and comprising one or more definition elements; storing at least one description document conforming to the user interface object model, defining interaction of the user interface with the application and comprising one or more interaction elements; storing a plurality of layout objects each comprising a control for rendering a different definition element; storing a plurality of connector objects each comprising a control for rendering a different interaction element; reflecting the description documents into the object model to generate an instance of the object model defining the user interface and comprising the definition elements and the interaction elements of the description documents; downloading from storage layout objects corresponding to definition elements in the instance of the object model; making interfaces of the downloaded layout objects accessible to the corresponding definition elements; downloading from storage connector objects corresponding to interaction elements in the instance of the object model; making interfaces of the downloaded connector objects accessible to the corresponding interaction elements; and passing each element in the instance of the object model to the corresponding downloaded object and executing said object to cause the object to render the element, thereby effecting the user interface to the application.
