Abstract
An improved system and method is provided for bridging in a distributed directory-enabled application environment using an eXtensible Markup Language (“XML”) application program interface, where the interface includes a preprocessor using a configuration file. The method includes establishing a set of foundational bridge components and a set of task specific bridge parameters which are defined in the configuration file. The bridge is dynamically generated so that it includes the components and parameters, which enable applications in the distributed environment to communicate. The set of foundational bridge components may include thread safeness, smart pointers, and opaque interfaces.
