Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention are directed towards a method and apparatus for remote inter-language method calling. In one embodiment of the present invention, remote inter-language method calls are translated into an intermediary protocol, termed “*Connect”. The call is then translated from *Connect to the protocol of the language in which the method is written. *Connect insures that the method is called properly and that any return values are returned properly. Thus, any change in the protocol of the language in which the method is written necessitates only modification of the code used to translate between *Connect and the method's language.
Claims15
A method for remote inter-language method calling comprising:
- issuing a method call using a first protocol;
- translating said method call from said first protocol to an intermediary protocol;
- and
- translating said method call from said intermediary protocol to a second protocol.
A remote inter-language method calling system comprising:
- a method calling unit configured to issue a method call using a first protocol;
- a first translator configured to translate said method call from said first protocol to an intermediary protocol;
- and
- a second translator configured to translate said method call from said intermediary protocol to a second protocol.
A computer program product comprising:
- a computer usable medium having computer readable program code embodied therein configured for remote inter-language method calling, comprising:
- computer readable code configured to cause a computer to issue a method call using a first protocol;
- computer readable code configured to cause a computer to translate said method call from said first protocol to an intermediary protocol;
- and
- computer readable code configured to cause a computer to translate said method call from said intermediary protocol to a second protocol.
