Abstract
An invention is provided for affording an interprocess interface download in a computer environment. Client data is received from a user. In general, the client data includes information regarding the native computing environment of a client application. Based on the client data, a stub file is obtained that is capable of facilitating communication between the client application and a service application. The stub file is then provided to the user. In addition, one or more associated artifact files related to the stub file and the service application can be obtained and provided to the user along with the stub file.
Claims20
A method for providing an interprocess interface download in a computer environment, comprising the operations of:
- receiving client data from a user, the client data including information regarding a client application and a native computing environment of the client application;
- obtaining a stub file based on the client data, the stub file being capable of facilitating communication between the client application and a service application;
- and
- providing the stub file to the user.
A system for providing an interprocess interface in a computer environment, comprising:
- a user interface capable of prompting a user for client data, the client data including information regarding a native computing environment of a client application;
- and
- an artifact generator in communication with the user interface, the artifact generator capable of obtaining a stub file based on the client data, the stub file capable of facilitating communication between the client application and a service application, the artifact generator further capable of providing the stub file to the user.
A computer program embodied on a computer readable medium, the computer program providing an interprocess interface in a computer environment, comprising:
- program instructions that receive client data from a user, the client data including information regarding a client application and a native computing environment of the client application;
- program instructions that obtain a stub file based on the client data, the stub file capable of facilitating communication between the client application and a service application;
- and
- program instructions that provide the stub file to the user.
