Unifying Programming Models in Connectivity Framework
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for using point-to-point communication in a communication framework to unify programming models. In a general aspect, a method for unifying programing models in connectivity framework can include receiving a message in a first protocol at a first computing system in the distributed computing environment. The message is associated with a connection request received from a second computing system in the distributed computing environment. In a communication framework of the first computing system, the first protocol is transformed into a second protocol of the message using a point-to-point communication of the communication framework. The message can then be output in the second protocol.
1 . A method performed with a distributed computing environment for connecting an application with an external partner, the method comprising:
receiving, at a first computing system in the distributed computing environment, a message in a first protocol, the message associated with a connection request received from a second computing system in the distributed computing environment;
transforming, in a communication framework of the first computing system, the first protocol of the message into a second protocol of the message using a point-to-point communication of the communication framework; and
outputting the message in the second protocol.
2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving a connection request from an application; and
processing the connection request using a web service proxy at runtime.
3 . The method of claim 2 , further comprising:
dispatching the message in the second protocol to a plurality of connectors; and
outputting the first message in the second protocol to an external partner via the plurality of connectors.

receiving a connection request from an external partner with a plurality of connectors, the plurality of connectors adapted to various protocols; and
processing the connection request using a web service proxy at runtime.
5 . The method of claim 3 , further comprising:
receiving the message at one of the plurality of connectors in the first protocol, the message associated with the connection request; and
outputting the message in the second protocol to an application.
6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first protocol comprises a web service (WS) protocol and the second protocol comprises one of an exchange infrastructure (XI) protocol, a JMS protocol, an SMTP protocol, a TCP protocol, or an RFC protocol.
7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first protocol comprises an XI protocol and the second protocol comprises one of a WS protocol, a JMS protocol, an SMTP protocol, a TCP protocol, or an RFC protocol.
8 . A computer storage medium encoded with a computer program, the program comprising instructions that when executed by one or more computers cause the one or more computers to perform operations comprising:
receiving, at a first computing system in the distributed computing environment, a message in a first protocol, the message associated with a connection request received from a second computing system in the distributed computing environment;
transforming, in a communication framework of the first computing system, the first protocol of the message into a second protocol of the message using a point-to-point communication of the communication framework; and
outputting the message in the second protocol.
9 . The computer storage medium of claim 8 , wherein the operations further comprise:
receiving a connection request from an application; and
processing the connection request using a web service proxy at runtime.
10 . The computer storage medium of claim 9 , wherein the operations further comprise:
dispatching the message in the second protocol to a plurality of connectors; and
outputting the first message in the second protocol to an external partner via the plurality of connectors.
11 . The computer storage medium of claim 8 , wherein the operations further comprise:
receiving a connection request from an external partner with a plurality of connectors, the plurality of connectors adapted to various protocols; and
processing the connection request using a web service proxy at runtime.
12 . The computer storage medium of claim 11 , wherein the operations further comprise:
receiving the message at one of the plurality of connectors in the first protocol, the message associated with the connection request; and
outputting the message in the second protocol to an application.
13 . The computer storage medium of claim 8 , wherein the first protocol comprises a web service (WS) protocol and the second protocol comprises one of an exchange infrastructure (XI) protocol, a JMS protocol, an SMTP protocol, a TCP protocol, or an RFC protocol.
14 . The computer storage medium of claim 8 , wherein the first protocol comprises an XI protocol and the second protocol comprises one of a WS protocol, a JMS protocol, an SMTP protocol, a TCP protocol, or an RFC protocol.
15 . A system of one or more computers configured to perform operations comprising:
receiving, at a first computing system in the distributed computing environment, a message in a first protocol, the message associated with a connection request received from a second computing system in the distributed computing environment;
transforming, in a communication framework of the first computing system, the first protocol of the message into a second protocol of the message using a point-to-point communication of the communication framework; and
outputting the message in the second protocol.
