Abstraction factory in a base services pattern environment

A computer program embodied on a computer readable medium for providing an abstraction factory pattern in a netcentric architecture framework comprising:

• a code segment that provides a netcentric architecture, the netcentric architecture including a client/server architecture utilizing internet technologies;
• a code segment that receives data when an application executes in the netcentric architecture framework;
• a code segment that transforms the data into a plurality of concrete objects;
• a code segment that associates each of the concrete objects with a common abstract interface;
• a code segment that creates a map of the association between the concrete objects and the abstract interface;
• a code segment that receives a request from a client in the netcentric architecture framework, the request including an identifier for one of the concrete objects and an identifier for the abstract interface;
• a code segment that consults the map on a server in the netcentric architecture framework to locate the concrete object that has been identified;
• and
• a code segment that creates an abstract object that corresponds to the located concrete object such that the abstract object serves as a handle, generically manipulable by the netcentric architecture framework.

A system for providing an abstraction factory pattern in a netcentric architecture framework comprising:

• logic that provides a netcentric architecture, the netcentric architecture including a client/server architecture utilizing internet technologies;
• logic that receives data when an application executes in the netcentric architecture framework;
• logic that transforms the data into a plurality of concrete objects;
• logic that associates each of the concrete objects with a common abstract interface;
• logic that creates a map of the association between the concrete objects and the abstract interface;
• logic that receives a request from a client in the netcentric architecture framework, the request including an identifier for one of the concrete objects and an identifier for the abstract interface;
• logic that consults the map on a server in the netcentric architecture framework to locate the concrete object that has been identified;
• and
• logic that creates an abstract object that corresponds to the located concrete object such that the abstract object serves as a handle, generically manipulable by the netcentric architecture framework.
