Patent ID: 8826300

Claim:
A computer-implemented method, comprising: receiving, at a file system driver, a file system call for a file system from an application program executing on a computing device, the application program inherently incapable of utilizing a message service server to communicate; and enabling the inherently incapable application program to communicate via the messaging service server by: converting, using the file system driver, the received file system call into a message service request; transmitting the message service request to the message service server; receiving a message service response from the message service server, the message service response transmitted by the message service server in response to the transmitted message service request; converting the received message service response into a file system call response, the file system call response including information formatted as contents of a file wherein said converting the received message service response into a file system call response comprises converting the received message service response into a file system call response with the file system driver; and storing the file system call response as a file system file in a file system.
