Abstract
A method for distributing code resident on a remote application server to a local server. When a client requests information, a request handler on the local server handles the request. If the information is available on the local server, the request handler satisfies the request using this information. If the information is not available locally, the request handler accesses the remote application server to obtain the requested information. The request handler forwards the information to the client and caches it on the local server. Where the information cannot be transferred to the local application server, the request handler establishes a proxy to the remote application server that forwards a client request to the remote application server and a response from the remote application server to the client. The client communicates transparently with the remote application server via the proxy on the local application server.
