Abstract:
A method for providing an abstraction factory pattern in netcentric architecture framework comprising:providing a netcentric architecture, the netcentric architecture including a client/server architecture utilizing internet technologies; receiving data when an application executes in the netcentric architecture framework; transforming the data into a plurality of concrete objects; associating each of the concrete objects with a common abstract interface; creating a map of the association between the concrete objects and the abstract interface; receiving a request from a client in the netcentric architecture framework, the request including an identifier for one of the concrete objects and an identifier for the abstract interface; consulting the map on a server in the netcentric architecture framework to locate the concrete object that has been identified; and creating an abstract object that corresponds to the located concrete object such that the abstract object serves as a handle, generically manipulable by the netcentric architecture framework.
