A system for direct point-to-point communications between applications using a single port, comprising:
- a first object for communicating with remote objects, the first object using a single port interface and comprising at least a sender and a receiver communicating with the remote objects using the single port interface;
- and
- a second object for communicating with local objects, the second object comprising at least a sender and a receiver communicating with the local object.
A direct point-to-point communications method between applications using a single port, comprising:
- providing a first object for communicating with remote objects, the first object using a single port interface and comprising at least a sender and a receiver communicating with the remote objects using the single port interface;
- and
- providing a second object for communicating with local objects, the second object comprising at least a sender and a receiver communicating with the local object.
A program storage device readable by machine, tangibly embodying a program of instructions executable by the machine to perform a direct point-to-point communications method between applications using a single port, comprising:
- providing a first object for communicating with remote objects, the first object using a single port interface and comprising at least a sender and a receiver communicating with the remote objects using the single port interface;
- and
- providing a second object for communicating with local objects, the second object comprising at least a sender and a receiver communicating with the local object.
