Claim Text:
1. A computer-implemented method for supporting data interoperability in a distributed data grid including a plurality of networked computers each having a microprocessor and memory, said computer-implemented method comprising: providing a first acceptor operating in the distributed data grid, wherein the first acceptor is associated with a distributed cache in the memory of the plurality of networked computers of the distributed data grid; providing a binary pass-through associated with said first acceptor; receiving, via the first acceptor, incoming data from a first client associated with a first client application, wherein the first client utilizes a first serializer to convert software objects into a binary format such that said incoming data received by said first acceptor is in said binary format; using the binary pass-through to store said first incoming data received by said first acceptor in said binary format in the distributed cache; providing a second acceptor operating on a computer in the distributed data grid, wherein the second acceptor is associated with the distributed cache; providing a second serializer associated with said second acceptor; receiving, via the second acceptor, second incoming data from a second client associated with a second client application different than the first application; using the second serializer to convert said second incoming data received by the second acceptor into the binary format, and storing said second incoming data in said binary format in the distributed cache; and supporting data interoperability by allowing each of the first client and the second client to access the first incoming data stored in said binary format in the distributed cache and the second incoming data stored in said binary format in the distributed cache.
