Abstract
A method and system are provided for communicating results to a query for data in a computer network utilizing a graphical user interface. A framework on a client computer registers the client computer with an information service provider. Then the framework receives the query for data from the user interface. The framework creates a query packet including the query for data. A remote computer in communication with the framework resident on the local computing device receives the query packet from the framework and sends a response packet to the framework. After receiving the response packet, the framework determines whether the response packet contains a result to the data query. If the response packet contains a result to the data query, the framework formats the result for presentation to a user via the user interface on the local computing device. If the response packet, does not contain a result to the data query the framework may send a status message, indicating that no results were returned for the data query, to the user interface. The data in the query packet and the response packet may be formatted in a data format such as Extensible Markup Language (“XML”).
