Abstract
A portable distributed application framework that uses a definition file describing a structure of data and commands to be used by the framework to interface with an application. A proxy, responsive to a definition file, creates and receives messages based on the definition file. The created messages contain data and commands used to control the application while the received messages contain data from the application. A control, responsive to the definition file, relays messages between the proxy and the application. A housing, responsive to the definition file and the messages from the proxy, provides the application with configuration information and receives data from the application.
Claims11
A protocol emulation system comprising:
- at least one emulation housing configured by a protocol emulation definition for initiating protocol emulation sessions in accordance with data contained in the protocol emulation definition file;
- and
- an interface including a display, configured by the protocol emulation definition, that displays data related to the session created by the emulation housing and facilitates the entry of commands and configuration data from a user, the commands and configuration data being transmitted to the emulation housing and modifying the behavior thereof;
- and
- an emulation controller that distributes protocol emulation definitions and acts as a conduit of data and commands between the emulation housing and the interface.
