Abstract:
Computer-executable process steps, stored on a computer-readable medium for use in a digital computer system, which involves objects of first and second object models and corresponding first and second object systems using respective first and second implementations to implement, respectively, the first and second object models, and steps to enable the first object system to use objects of at least the second object model, comprising:a providing step to provide a description of an object of the second object model; a creating step to create a proxy object that is an object of the first object system and that corresponds to the object of the second object model; a receiving step to receive a manipulation of the proxy object, the manipulation conforming to the first implementation; and a forwarding step to forward a manipulation of at least one of the proxy objects to the corresponding object of the second object model by utilizing the description from said providing step.
