1. A method executing within a computer system having a processor for configuring modules of a modular application platform during run-time of the modular application platform, the method comprising:
providing a configuration module for executing initial-launch configuration code for one or more configuration pages to obtain configuration information for each configuration page;
defining by the configuration module an abstraction of a configuration page; and
providing by another module an implementation of the configuration page abstraction to provide configuration code for at least one configuration page, such that one or more configuration pages need not be run again during a subsequent start-up of the modular application platform.
