Abstract
Method and apparatus for dynamically and adaptively alternating encodings, protocols, and/or transports in remoting system servers. Embodiments may provide a mechanism or mechanisms to isolate encoding, protocol, and/or transport changes in remoting system servers. In a remoting system, a server may make its service(s) available via multiple, published encoding, protocol and transport (EPT) combinations. One embodiment may provide a mechanism that enables a remoting system server to determine an EPT combination for receiving messages from a client, to have that choice drive the creation of objects and/or interface instances on the remoting system server used in the message exchange (including, but not limited to, connections, protocol handlers, and decoders), and to switch to a different EPT combination on the remoting system server to receive other messages, if necessary. Embodiments may be used in all types of remoting systems and/or in other computing environments including, but not limited to, peer-to-peer environments.
