Abstract
A system and method is provided for bridging disparate object systems. The system includes a first wrapper to bridge communications between a first object system and a second object system and a second wrapper to bridge communications between the second object system and the first object system. The first wrapper insulates the first object system from interface implementations in the second object system and the second wrapper insulates the second object system from interface implementations in the first object system to facilitate transparent communications between the first and second object systems. The first object system may be at least one of a managed object system and an unmanaged object system, and the second object system may be at least one of a managed object system and an unmanaged object system.
