Abstract:
A method for processing transactions between one or more object-oriented applications located on a first computer and one or more transaction processors, comprising the steps of:(a) establishing a first communication link between the one or more object-oriented applications located on the first computer and a transaction processor interoperability component located on a second computer;(b) determining a first transaction processor from the one or more transaction processors that will process a first type of transactions for the one or more object-oriented applications and a second transaction processor from the one or more transaction processors that will process a second type of transaction for the one or more object-oriented applications;(c) establishing a second communication link between the transaction processor interoperability component and the first transaction processor that will process the first type of transactions;(d) establishing a third communication link between the transaction processor interoperability component and the second transaction processor that will process the second type of transactions;(e) transmitting a transaction from the one or more object-oriented applications to the transaction processor interoperability component;(f) formatting the transaction by the transaction processor interoperability component for the first transaction processor when the transaction is of the first type of transaction and for the second transaction processor when the transaction is of the second type of type of transaction; and(g) transmitting the formatted transaction to the first transaction processor when the transaction is of the first type of transaction and to the second transaction processor when the transaction is of the second type of transaction.
