Abstract
A computer-implemented method for process integration may comprise providing a business logic layer that hosts business object(s), providing process broker(s), providing adapter(s) and providing a process broker handler. Each process broker may perform process integration tasks by dynamically determining whether, when and/or how routines of the business logic layer need to be integrated with routines of a second application. Each adapter may be part of a first application and implement methods to perform communication protocol specific logic. Each adapter may also be interoperable with at least one of the process brokers and one of the business objects to transform a message exchanged between the process broker and the second application from an internal format to an external format or vice versa. The process broker handler may be operable to instantiate the process broker and to instantiate an adapter stored in association with the instantiated process broker.
