Abstract
A computing system receives a web services request to invoke a method of web Application Programming Interface (API). In response to receiving the web services request, the computing system invokes a method of a language-dependent API of a client component in a collaboration system. The client component communicates with a collaboration server component in the collaboration system using a proprietary communications protocol. The method of the language-dependent API is a method to obtain data from the collaboration server component. After invoking the method, the computing system sends a web services response whose contents depend on the data obtained from the collaboration server component.
