Abstract
Apparatus, methods and computer program products are disclosed for interfacing a client based, multi-threaded API that is written in a first programming language (such as JAVA) with a server based, single-thread API that is written in a second programming language (such as C or C++). The invention uses an object factory to generate a server object for each client. Programmed-method invocations performed on logical objects at the client are communicated to the server object. The server object processes the programmed-method invocation to perform the requested service such as providing network management information services.
