Bridging between a data representation language message-based distributed computing environment and other computing environments using proxy service

Abstract

Various embodiments of mechanisms for bridging data representation language messaging based distributed computing environments to foreign environments are described. A device proxy may implement a device protocol and a distributed computing environment protocol to bridge devices into the distributed computing environment. A client proxy is described that implements the distributed computing environment protocol on behalf of a foreign client such as a browser. A service proxy is described that implements the distributed computing environment protocol on behalf of a foreign service. A transport proxy is described that routes data representation language messages between two different message transports. A distributed computing environment client proxy may allow distributed computing environment clients to access Remote Method Invocation (RMI)-based environment services. An RMI-based environment client proxy may allow RMI-based environment clients to access distributed computing environment services.
