Abstract
A system which makes prior art On-Line Transaction Processing (OLTP) systems and their associated databases accessible using HyperText Transport Protocol (HTTP) interfaces. The response time for an on-line user seeking HTTP access to the transaction processing system is minimized by pre-establishing a transaction gateway client having a static connection to the transaction processing system. In addition, the HTTP access to the transaction processing system is available for multiple concurrant users. The system further provides a gateway that is independent of the underlying service provided by the transaction processor, whereby the same gateway client is capable of usage with different databases and operations thereon.
