Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method, comprising: a bridge mechanism component of an application server receiving a call from a client formatted according to a first inter-object communication interface; generating a reference object for the first inter-object communication interface and configured to provide the call to an object configured for inter-object communication according to a second inter-object communication interface; generating an integer value from an object identifier of the reference object; and storing the reference object in a location of a cache determined from the integer value; wherein said receiving, said generating a reference object, said generating an integer value, and said storing are all performed by the bridge mechanism component, wherein the bridge mechanism component provides communications between applications configured for inter-object communication according to the first inter-object communication interface and objects configured for inter-object communication according to the second inter-object communication interface.
