1. A computer-implemented method for mapping at run time a value to a text in a system, the system comprising a first computer including a user interface and a second computer including a service adapter, the method comprising: receiving at run time a request, by a service manager and from the user interface at the first computer, the request being associated with an object node, the request made in response to the request from the user interface to obtain configuration information for a page to be presented at the user interface, the service manager including an application programming interface to receive the request, the service manager configured to analyze the request to determine whether to instantiate the service adapter to map the value to the text; instantiating, by a service manager at the second computer, the service adapter for mapping at run time the value included in the object node to the text included in a text node based on a text association selected at runtime from a plurality of text associations, the text associations determined before run time, each of the text associations linking the object node to a different text node including a corresponding text to be mapped at run time to the object node, the object node including a text enabled field to indicate that the object node includes the text association and text node to be mapped; and providing to the user interface at run time, the text determined based on the text association, such that the text is responsive to the request from the user interface.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein receiving further comprises: associating the request with the one or more object nodes.
