ABSTRACT:
A computer system has a plurality of non-compatible clients and servers selectively interconnected over a network, each client capable of initiating an application in which a related compatible server is involved. Communication between the clients and servers involve a first registry process including the acceptance of application specific messages from a client, destined for a preselected server, and encapsulating them into standard registry specific messages. The routing of the messages is determined by a database that responds to a verb command, from a particular client, to provide routing data. Next, there is translation of the registry specific messages into a preselected protocol. A second registry process occurs at a distant end to restore the message, after passing through the network. The second registry accepts the translated messages and converts them from protocol format to the original application specific format for use by the preselected compatible server.
