Estimating the term…
The present invention concerns a method and system for enabling a server application to be executed in the same Java Virtual Machine (VM) as a client application using direct Java method calls without the need for remote communications protocol processing of the method calls. This is achieved by providing an application program interface (API) that exposes objects comprising the server application program to the client application program, whereby a client application method call is reduced by the interface to a Plain Old Java Objects (POJO) method call.
A method of processing a client application method call to a server application in an object oriented programming environment, the method comprising the steps of:
A method of providing an interface between a client application program and a server application program both being executed on the same virtual machine (VM) hosted by a computing system, the method comprising the step of generating program code for execution on the VM with the server application program and the client application program, wherein the program code exposes objects comprising the server application program to the client application program, whereby a client application method call is reduced by the interface to a plain object oriented programming method call to the interface.
A system for generating an interface between a client application program and a server application program that are both being executed on the same virtual machine (VM) hosted by a computing system, the system comprising a code generator that generates interface program code for execution on the VM with the server application program and the client application program, wherein the program code exposes objects comprising the server application program to the client application program, whereby a client application method call is reduced by the interface to a plain object oriented programming method call to the interface.
A computing device comprising:
Program code embodied on a machine readable medium for processing a client application method call to a server application in an object oriented programming environment, wherein the program code comprises program code for:
Program code embodied on a machine readable medium for generating an interface between a client application program and a server application program that are both being executed on the same virtual machine (VM) hosted by a computing system, the program code comprising a code generator that generates interface program code for execution on the VM with the server application program and the client application program, wherein the program code exposes objects comprising the server application program to the client application program, whereby a client application method call is reduced by the interface to a plain object oriented programming method call to the interface.
