Abstract
A generic server and gateway that run within a Distributed Component Object Model (DCOM) environment capable of receiving requests from one or more different types of DCOM clients for service by an On-Line Transaction Processing (OLTP) style application running on an enterprise server. The services on the OLTP system are designed to accomplish a specific task, for example, update a user's bank account balance following a debit or credit. In a preferred embodiment, the OLTP system is X/Open compliant. The DCOM Client can be any type of client, including a Visual Basic client, C++ client, or a Web Browser with Active Server Pages (ASP). The generic server and generic gateway are vendor supplied components which tend to insulate the client developer from the details of the communication protocol with the OLTP system.
