Abstract
An apparatus for and method of utilizing an existing predefined messaging protocol to convey additional data in application-to-application communication. Instead of utilizing a plurality of the existing predefined messages or defining a new unique message type to convey the needed data, a single preexisting message type is used to define location and format of the data objects to be communicated. The receiving application unpacks these definitions from the single message received and accesses the defined data objects as required.
