Method and system for providing interoperability of different version protocols without access to protocol specific code

A method for preserving interoperability between a first process with a first protocol and a second process with a second protocol wherein the second process sends data to the first process, comprising:

• transforming an in-memory representation of data from a second data format to a first data format,
• serializing the data through the first protocol;
• and
• converting the in-memory representation of the first data format into a data suitable for being understood by the first protocol,
• wherein the second protocol is an upgraded version of the first protocol and the second process is capable of processing the second data format and the first data format.

A system of providing interoperability between a first process with a first protocol and a second process with a second protocol wherein the second process receives the data from the first process, comprising:

• means for receiving data from the first process;
• means for de-serializing the data through the first protocol;
• means for converting the data into an in-memory presentation of the first data format;
• and
• means for transforming the in-memory presentation of the first data format into an in-memory representation of the second data format,
• wherein the second protocol is an upgraded version of the first protocol and the second process is capable of processing the second data format and the first data format.

A system for providing interoperability between a first process with a first protocol and a second process with a second protocol wherein the second process sends the data to the first process, comprising:

• means for transforming in-memory representation of data from a second data format to a first data format,
• means for utilizing the first protocol to serialize the data;
• and
• means for converting the in-memory representation of the first data format into data suitable for the first protocol,
• wherein the second protocol is an upgraded version of the first protocol and the second process is capable of processing the second data format and the first data format.
