Abstract

A computer system has clients and servers of different object models, such as SOAP, CORBA and EJB for providing distributed application services. To connect a SOAP client to a CORBA or EJB server, a bridge 10 is used containing corresponding server and client components as well as a mapping component to map object and method requests of one type into another.
