METHODS, SYSTEMS, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCTS FOR PROCESSING A DATA OBJECT IDENTIFICATION REQUEST IN A COMMUNICATION

摘要

Methods and systems are described for processing a data object identification request in a communication. In an aspect, a first communications agent in a first execution environment receives data object information identifying a data object matching criterion. The first communications agent exchanges a first message with a second communications agent in a second execution environment. The second communications agent detects a data object identification request included in the exchanged first message. In response to detecting the data object identification request, a data object identification response is generated that identifies a data object in a second data store in the second execution environment. The second communications agent exchanges a second message with the first communications agent. The second message includes the data object identification response, wherein the second message does not include the data object.

主权项

1. A method for processing a data object identification request in a communication, the method comprising:
receiving, by a first communications agent in a first execution environment from a first user represented by the first communications agent, data object information identifying a data object matching criterion; sending, according to a first communications protocol via a network in a communication to a second communications agent in a second execution environment representing a second user, a first message including a data object identification request based on the data object matching criterion, wherein the first message is addressed to the second user; and receiving, by the first communications agent in response to sending the data object identification request in the first message, a second message that includes a data object identification response that identifies a data object in a second data store in the second execution environment, wherein the second message is addressed to the first user and the data object is not received in the second message, wherein performing at least one of the preceding actions comprising the method includes execution of an instruction by a processor.
