Abstract
Java methods contained in a Java class and method database are accessed by a non-Java application running on a local machine or a remote machine. The non-Java application generates a standard TCP/IP communication call for a method of a Java class in the database. A Java service server running on a Java VM on the local machine receives the method call and related parameter data and performs their processing including a conversion of the call and of related parameter data from a transport format into Java native data types. The converted data is used for invoking a Java method for execution by applying the method to the converted parameter data. The result data of the method execution is converted from the Java format into the transport format in which they are transmitted to the non-Java application.
