Proxy object creation and use
View Patent ↗Embodiments are discussed for methods, systems, and computer readable media for creating a proxy object, comprising calling a second functionality in a proxy class, creating a proxy object by the second functionality, calling a third functionality by the second functionality, calling a fourth functionality by the third functionality, creating a reference object by the fourth functionality, returning the reference object to the third functionality, associating the reference object to the proxy object by the third functionality, and returning the associated proxy object by the second functionality to a first functionality.
1. A device-implemented method comprising:
associating an address with an adapter for a business object at a first resource;
performing a lookup using the address to determine a proxy object for the adapter; and
communicating the proxy object for receipt at a second resource that is remote from the first resource, the proxy object being configured to enable the second resource to invoke one or more functionalities of the business object via the adapter.
2. The device-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein associating the address with the adapter comprises associating a uniform resource locator (URL) and an ID for the business object with the address.
3. The device-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein performing the lookup using the address to determine the proxy object for the adapter comprises associating a proxy method with the proxy object.
4. The device-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein performing the lookup using the address to determine the proxy object for the adapter comprises determining a messaging protocol associated with the address.
5. The device-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein performing the lookup using the address to determine the proxy object for the adapter comprises:
determining a URL associated with the address; and
inspecting the URL to determine a directory location associated with the proxy object.
6. The device-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving a request to invoke a method associated with the business object;
processing the request to determine one or more arguments included with the request; and
passing the one or more arguments to the business object for processing.
7. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon, the instructions comprising:
instructions to associate an address with an adapter for a business object at a first resource;
instructions to perform a lookup using the address to determine a proxy object for the adapter; and
instructions to communicate the proxy object for receipt at a second resource that is remote from the first resource, the proxy object being configured to enable the second resource to invoke one or more functionalities of the business object via the adapter.
8. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 7 , wherein instructions to associate the address with the adapter comprise instructions to associate a uniform resource locator (URL) and an ID for the business object with the address.
9. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 7 , wherein instructions to perform the lookup using the address to determine the proxy object for the adapter comprise instructions to associate a proxy method with the proxy object.
10. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 7 , wherein instructions to perform the lookup using the address to determine the proxy object for the adapter comprise instructions to determine a messaging protocol associated with the address.
11. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 7 , wherein instructions to perform the lookup using the address to determine the proxy object for the adapter comprise:
instructions to determine a URL associated with the address; and
instructions to inspect the URL to determine a directory location associated with the proxy object.
12. The non-transitory tangible computer-readable medium of claim 7 , further comprising:
instructions to receive a request to invoke a method associated with the business object;
instructions to process the request to determine one or more arguments included with the request; and
instructions to pass the one or more arguments to the business object for processing.
