Abstract
A method and system for passing information between a client, as a browser, and a server, as an application server, where the information is passed through a web server for processing between the application server and the browser. The webserver loads one or more template files. These template files contain standard markup language plus special tags. These tags are parsed, translated into commands for the application server, and sent to the application server. The application server returns the objects called to the web server, which passes the called objects to the client. The session is persistent.
