Abstract

Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, are provided for messaging. In one aspect, there is provided a computer-implemented method. The method may include initiating a call from a first application to a second application. The method may determine whether the first application is local to the second application. A call may be made as a local call from the first application to the second application, when it is determined that the first and second applications are on the same computer. A call may be made as a remote call from the first application to the second application, when it is determined that the first and second applications are on separate computers. Related apparatus, systems, methods, and articles are also described.
