Legacy corba name space integration using web application servers

A method in a data processing system for obtaining object references, the method comprising:

• receiving a request to for an object reference, wherein the request includes a source name space path, and identification of a destination, and a destination name space path;
• searching a name space for the object reference using the source name space path;
• and
• responsive to locating the object reference, sending the object reference to a destination using the identification of the destination, wherein the destination uses the destination name space path to bind the object reference.

A data processing system comprising:

• a bus system;
• a communications unit connected to the bus system;
• a memory connected to the bus system, wherein the memory includes as set of instructions;
• and
• a processing unit connected to the bus system, wherein the processing unit executes the set of instructions to collect information to create a request to bind an object reference;
• forward the request to a source application server;
• search for the object reference in the remote name space;
• responsive to locating the object reference, convert the object reference to a serialized interoperable object reference;
• attach the serialized interoperable object reference to the request;
• redirect the request to a destination application server;
• convert the serialized interoperable object reference back to the object reference;
• and bind the object reference into the local name space on the destination application server.

A data processing system comprising:

• a communications unit connected to the bus system;
• a memory connected to the bus system, wherein the memory includes as set of instructions;
• and
• a processing unit connected to the bus system, wherein the processing unit executes the set of instructions to receive a request to for an object reference in which the request includes a source name space path, and identification of a destination, and a destination name space path;
• search a name space for the object reference using the source name space path;
• and send the object reference to a destination using the identification of the destination in response to locating the object reference in which the destination uses the destination name space path to bind the object reference.

A data processing system for binding object references from a remote name space into a local name space, the data processing system comprising:

• collecting means for collecting information to create a request to bind an object reference;
• forwarding means for forwarding the request to a source application server;
• searching means for searching for the object reference in the remote name space;
• responsive to locating the object reference, converting means for converting the object reference to a serialized interoperable object reference;
• attaching means for attaching the serialized interoperable object reference to the request;
• redirecting means for redirecting the request to a destination application server;
• converting means for converting the serialized interoperable object reference back to the object reference;
• and
• binding means for binding the object reference into the local name space on the destination application server.

• sending means, responsive to locating the object reference, for sending the object reference to a destination using the identification of the destination, wherein the destination uses the destination name space path to bind the object reference.

A computer program product in a computer readable medium for binding object references from a remote name space into a local name space, the computer program product comprising:

• first instructions for collecting information to create a request to bind an object reference;
• second instructions for forwarding the request to a source application server;
• third instructions for searching for the object reference in the remote name space;
• fourth instructions for responsive to locating the object reference, converting the object reference to a serialized interoperable object reference;
• fifth instructions for attaching the serialized interoperable object reference to the request;
• sixth instruction for redirecting the request to a destination application server;
• seventh instructions for converting the serialized interoperable object reference back to the object reference;
• and
• eighth instructions for binding the object reference into the local name space on the destination application server.
