TECHNIQUE FOR ENABLING A PLURALITY OF SOFTWARE COMPONENTS TO COMMUNICATE IN A SOFTWARE COMPONENT MATRIX ENVIRONMENT

摘要

A technique for enabling a plurality of software components to communicate in a software component matrix environment is disclosed. In one particular exemplary embodiment, the technique may be realized by a method for enabling a plurality of software components to communicate in a software component matrix environment comprising the steps of encoding a request at a client side; communicating the request to a server at a server side via a communication interface; comparing the request to a plurality of operations supported at the server side; determining whether a function match exists at the server side; and returning a response comprising the function match to the client side in response to the request via the communication interface wherein the response is mapped to a data model of a client.
