Abstract
The World Wide Web has become a platform for distributed applications of all kinds. Its originally anticipated scope has changed dramatically but without major changes to the primary mechanisms. Web application development suffers increasingly from the coarse-grained implementation model of the Web, as established software design concepts are hardly applicable to it. The object-oriented WebComposition Markup Language (WCML) addresses these problems with a fine-grained componentbased model and thus supports the application of software engineering practice to applications in the Web. In this paper, we introduce the WebComposition Repository as a key tool for a systematic approach to code reuse. The repository is used for storing, managing, and retrieving large numbers of WCML components. Consequently, it facilitates reuse in component-based Web Engineering.
