ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for use in a data processing system to connect a client application with a target service program over a network. An application programming interface presents available services as high-level behaviors to a client application program. A gateway executor on the server performs the detailed interfacing with the target service program, and maintains data about the state of interaction with the application program on the client. Messages passed between the gateway executor and the application programming interface utilize a facilitating protocol, and travel through a communications manager program residing on the client, and through the network. Legacy data systems can provide service across the Internet using some embodiments.
