Providing service distribution between distributed applications

A computer program product for facilitating distribution of a service between a first application and a second application, the computer program product comprising:

• computer code configured to
• receive a first notification from a service registry, the first notification indicating registration of a remote socket object, the remote socket object created in response to a request for a service at a first application;
• request one or more active subscription from the service registry;
• receive the one or more active subscription from the service registry;
• select a subscription record from the received one or more active subscription, the subscription record associated with a second application and with the request for the service at the first application;
• send the selected subscription record to the second application using a remote device port mapped to a localhost port;
• receive a service record from the second application, wherein the service record includes a socket for communicating with the second application;
• modify the received service record to include a localhost socket mapped to the socket;
• and
• send the modified service record to the service registry, wherein the service registry registers the second application using information from the modified service record to facilitate distribution of the service between the first application and the second application.

A device for facilitating distribution of a service between a first application and a second application, the device comprising:

• a service mapper, the service mapper comprising computer code configured to
• receive a first notification from a service registry, the first notification indicating registration of a remote socket object, the remote socket object created in response to a request for a service at a first application;
• request one or more active subscription from the service registry;
• receive the one or more active subscription from the service registry;
• select a subscription record from the received one or more active subscription, the subscription record associated with a second application and with the request for the service at the first application;
• send the selected subscription record to the second application using a remote device port mapped to a localhost port;
• receive a service record from the second application, wherein the service record includes a socket for communicating with the second application;
• modify the received service record to include a localhost socket mapped to the socket;
• and
• send the modified service record to the service registry, wherein the service registry registers the second application using information from the modified service record to facilitate distribution of the service between the first application and the second application;
• a memory, wherein the memory stores the service mapper;
• and
• a processor coupled to the memory, the processor configured to execute the service mapper.

A system for facilitating distribution of a service between a first application and a second application, the system comprising:

• a service registry, the service registry comprising computer code configured to
• send a first notification to a service mapper, the first notification indicating registration of a remote socket object, the remote socket object created in response to a request for a service at a first application;
• receive a request from the service mapper for one or more active subscription;
• send the one or more active subscription to the service mapper;
• receive a modified service record from the service mapper;
• register a second application using information from the received modified service record;
• and
• notify the first application of the second application to facilitate distribution of the service between the first application and the second application;
• the service mapper comprising computer code configured to
• receive the first notification;
• request the one or more active subscription;
• receive the one or more active subscription;
• select a subscription record from the received one or more active subscription, the subscription record associated with a second application and with the request for the service at the first application;
• send the selected subscription record to the second application using a remote device port mapped to a localhost port;
• receive a service record from the second application, wherein the service record includes a socket for communicating with the second application;
• modify the received service record to include a localhost socket mapped to the socket;
• and
• send the modified service record to the service registry;
• one or more memory, wherein the one or more memory stores the service registry and the service mapper;
• and
• one or more processor coupled to the one or more memory, the one or more processor configured to execute the service registry and the service mapper.

A system for facilitating distribution of a service between a first application and a second application, the system comprising:

• a first device, the first device comprising
• a first service mapper, the first service mapper comprising computer code configured to:
• receive a first notification from a service registry, the first notification indicating registration of a remote socket object, the remote socket object created in response to a request for a service at a first application;
• request one or more active subscription from the service registry;
• receive the one or more active subscription from the service registry;
• select a subscription record from the received one or more active subscription, the subscription record associated with a second application and with the request for the service at the first application;
• send the selected subscription record to a second device executing the second application using a remote device port mapped to a localhost port;
• receive a service record from the second device, wherein the service record includes a socket for communicating with the second application;
• modify the received service record to include a localhost socket mapped to the socket;
• and
• send the modified service record to the service registry, wherein the service registry registers the second application using information from the modified service record to facilitate distribution of the service between the first application and the second application;
• a first communication interface, the first communication interface configured to send the selected subscription to the second device and to receive the service record from the second device;
• a first memory, wherein the first memory stores the first service mapper;
• and
• a first processor coupled to the first memory and to the first communication interface, the first processor configured to execute the first service mapper;
• and
• the second device comprising
• a second service mapper, the second service mapper comprising computer code configured to
• receive the selected subscription from the first device using a second communication interface;
• and
• send the service record to the first device using the second communication interface;
• a second memory, wherein the second memory stores the second service mapper;
• and
• a second processor coupled to the second memory and to the second communication interface, the second processor configured to execute the second service mapper.
