Method and system for providing string-over-socket scripting language access to distributed object model interfaces

摘要

A method and system for providing access for a scripting language on a first platform to objects on a second platform. First, a socket connection is established between a program written in a target scripting language and the second platform. Second, a string message that identifies a specific interface is transmitted across the socket. Third, the string message is automatically converted into a call on the specified object. Fourth, a status and any output parameters are converted into a string message and returned to the scripting language on the first platform.
