Various embodiments of systems and methods for providing a secure communication are described herein. A client application generates a Distributed Ruby (DRb) request based on a request received from a user. The obtained DRb request is wrapped to obtain an HTTPS request, which includes the DRb request and one or more authentication information. The generated HTTPS request is forwarded to an HTTPS server, which verifies the HTTPS request based on the authentication information. The HTTPS request is then unwrapped to obtain the DRb request, which is executed by a DRb server to obtain a result of execution of the DRb request.

Secure communication of distributed ruby requests

A computer readable medium stores instructions for execution on a computer. The instructions receive a collection of composite objects. An aggregate dataset that includes a portion of contents of object instances in the collection of composite objects is created. The aggregate dataset includes contents of object instances formed by reflection, where reflection includes obtaining type information of object instances in the collection of composite objects. A report schema specifying how data for a report is to be processed and formatted is received. The aggregate dataset is queried to retrieve data. The data is processed into a report in accordance with the report schema. The data in the report is formatted in accordance with the report schema.

Apparatus and method for routing composite objects to a report server

A computer readable medium stores computer executable instructions to receive a collection of composite objects. An aggregate dataset that includes a portion of the contents of object instances in the collection of objects is created. The aggregate dataset is passed to a report server. A report that includes data from the aggregate dataset is accepted.
