A method for implementing a web server in an embedded system is provided. Registration information is received at the web server in the embedded system from a plurality of objects. Each object provides a link to itself in the registration information. The registration information is stored in a registry as a list of links mapped to the objects. A web page is dynamically generated at runtime by the web server based on the registration information in the registry to provide a user interface including a visual depiction of the links on the web page. The web page is provided to a web browser external to the embedded system such that the objects are accessible to the web browser based on the links through the user interface.
