ABSTRACT:
An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for converting a synchronous interface into an asynchronous interface. The apparatus includes a receive module, a generate module, and a return module. The receive module receives a request for a transaction from a synchronous requester, the generate module generates a delaying object and a forwarding interface compatible with the requested return type, and the return module returns the delaying object with the forwarding interface to the requester. Additionally, services for implementing such an apparatus, system, and method are disclosed. Implementation of the apparatus, system, and method provide for increased computing performance, reduced application run time, and decreased usage of computing resources.
