ABSTRACT:
A method and system for exposing a version-independent interface to a computer resource. The interface system exposes a version-independent interface to a computer resource, such as a database or computer program. The interface system also provides a version-dependent interface to the computer resource that is typically not exposed. When the computer resource is modified, the version-dependent interface may be modified, but the version-independent interface might not be modified. When the version-dependent interface is modified, a mapping is generated (in some cases automatically) between the version-independent interface and the version-dependent interface. When an accessing computer program uses the version-independent interface to request services of the computer resource, the system uses the mapping to map the request to a request that is appropriate for the version-dependent interface.
