Abstract
A system, method, and article of manufacture provide a fixed format stream-based communication system. A sending fixed format contract on interface code is defined for a sending system. A receiving fixed format contract on interface code is also defined for a receiving system. A message to be sent from the sending system to the receiving system is translated based on the sending fixed format contract. The message is then sent from the sending system and subsequently received by the receiving system. The message received by the receiving system is then translated based on the receiving fixed format contract.
Claims20
A method for providing a fixed format stream-based communication system comprising the steps of:
- (a) defining a sending fixed format contract on interface code for a sending system and a receiving fixed format contract on interface code for a receiving system;
- (b) translating a message to be sent from the sending system to the receiving system based on the sending fixed format contract;
- (c) sending the message from the sending system;
- (d) receiving the message by the receiving system;
- and
- (e) translating the message received by the receiving system based on the receiving fixed format contract.
A computer program embodied on a computer readable medium for providing a fixed format stream-based communication system comprising:
- (a) a code segment that defines a sending fixed format contract on interface code for a sending system and a receiving fixed format contract on interface code for a receiving system;
- (b) a code segment that translates a message to be sent from the sending system to the receiving system based on the sending fixed format contract;
- (c) a code segment that sends the message from the sending system;
- (d) a code segment that receives the message by the receiving system;
- and
- (e) a code segment that translates the message received by the receiving system based on the receiving fixed format contract.
A system for providing a fixed format stream-based communication system comprising:
- (a) logic that defines a sending fixed format contract on interface code for a sending system and a receiving fixed format contract on interface code for a receiving system;
- (b) logic that translates a message to be sent from the sending system to the receiving system based on the sending fixed format contract;
- (c) logic that sends the message from the sending system;
- (d) logic that receives the message by the receiving system;
- and
- (e) logic that translates the message received by the receiving system based on the receiving fixed format contract.
