Abstract
A system and method for providing inter-tier application control in a multi-tiered computer computing environment. In an example embodiment for a multi-tier computing environment that includes a first tier application program, a second tier application program, and a plurality of third tier control elements, connection identifiers that respectively reference connections between the second tier application program and the third tier control elements are associated with respective third tier control element identifiers. When the second tier application program receives a message from the first tier application program, mapping software indicates to the second tier application program a third tier control element identifier based on the message. A control message generated by the second tier application program is transmitted to a third tier control element based on the indicated third tier control element identifier and the associated connection.
