Abstract:
1. A data communication method that compensates for disadvantageous characteristics of a first protocol that is used to communicate data between a client application and a server application, wherein the client application and the server application employ a second protocol that is mapped onto the first protocol, said method comprising the acts of: intercepting, by a client interceptor acting on behalf of a server application, a second-protocol data communication request from a client application; mapping, by the client interceptor, the second-protocol data communication request onto the first protocol; sending the communication request to a server interceptor using the first protocol; compensating a disadvantageous characteristic of the first protocol, said compensating comprising ascertaining that a condition exists and eliminating the condition in response to said ascertaining, said condition being a connection condition or a transmission capacity condition; mapping, by the server interceptor, the communication request back onto the second protocol to recreate substantially the second-protocol data communication request; delivering the second-protocol data communication request to the server application; and after said intercepting the communication request and before said sending the communication request to the server interceptor: adding, by the client interceptor, a client connection identifier to the communication request.
