Abstract
A method processes an object-oriented application on a target network device, by identifying a proxy network device capable of processing the object-oriented application, transmitting the object-oriented application to the proxy network device, generating one or more non-object-oriented instructions using the proxy network device corresponding to the object-oriented application, and transmitting the non-object-oriented instructions generated using the proxy network device to the target network device for processing. A system for processing an object-oriented application is also provided and includes a target network device capable of processing non-object-oriented instructions and sending information across a network, a proxy network device capable of processing the object-oriented instructions of the object-oriented application and converting the object-oriented instructions into non-object oriented instructions that the target network device can process, and a network that transmits the non-object oriented instructions from the proxy network device to the target network device to generate information that corresponds to results generated by the object-oriented application.
