Abstract
Methods, configured media, and systems are provided for connecting disparate software components in a network or other computer system. A language adapter maps programming language constructs to a general object-oriented interface. An object model adapter maps the general object-oriented interface to specific object models such as the Java/RMI model or a CORBA model. The system dynamically wraps non-object components, such as scripts, in a object wrapper as needed to make them accessible through the language adapter and the object model adapter. In this manner, a language-vendor-independent bridge is provided between components written in different programming languages, and the components also gain access to objects written in object models favored by various vendors.
