Abstract

A method and apparatus for generating a Common Gateway Interface (CGI) adaptor customized for a stored procedure. In accordance with the present invention, stored procedure application developers can provides their stored procedure to a builder, which creates a CGI adaptor customized for the stored procedure. To generate the CGI adaptor, the builder parses the stored procedure to identify the arguments of the stored procedure. Then, using the stored procedure arguments, the builder generates logic to extract variables from an input data stream, wherein the variables correspond to the arguments of the stored procedure. The builder also generates logic to invoke the stored procedure using the variables extracted from the input data stream. The generated logic comprises the customized CGI adaptor.
