Abstract
A computing environment includes an application server code resident on a remote application server that can be distributed by a local server. A request for information by a client is serviced by a request handler on the local application server. If the information is available on the local application server, the request handler satisfies the request. If the information is not available locally, the request handler can access the remote application server. When the information is copied to the local application server, the request handler retains a copy of the information and forwards a copy to the client. Where the information cannot be transferred to the local application server, the request handler can establish a proxy to the remote server and a response from the remote application server to the client. The client communicates with the remote application server via the proxy on the local application server and is unaware of the remote application server.
