Dynamic and Flexible Programming with Apex Code
Enterprise, Unlimited, and Developer Editions

• Retrieve and evaluate application customizations
• Inspect and programmatically enforce user permissions

When you develop CRM extensions and custom applications, flexible operations that support the dynamic nature of end-user interactions can be an advantage. For example, you may want to implement a Visualforce page that renders based on user-level access and dynamically enforces application permissions. With the Apex Describe feature in Summer ’08, you can build generic and flexible processes that use the Describe methods to dynamically determine runtime behavior.
