Abstract

An application server system has a constructed environment for executing application programs where the system has a plurality of processors, for receiving data from client requests and then modifying the constructed execution environment accordingly and for receiving and returning server data, and an interface for each of the processors, for receiving client request data and server data and returning server data, via the interface to/from its corresponding processor for modification of the execution environment and determination of server data to be returned. Each processor includes a receiving unit for calls containing client request data, a unit for processing the client request data and modifying the execution environment, and a unit for determining that another processor must be invoked, locating the other processor and invoking the other processor using the interface, and passing server data and client request data corresponding to the other processor.
