Abstract

A method is provided. The method designates an intersection library that includes an intersection of a first set of pre-constructed code that utilizes a first set of syntax language from a first platform and a second set of pre-constructed code that utilizes a second set of syntax language from a second platform. Further, the method composes platform independent code for an application service for an enterprise module. The platform independent code is compiled and linked with the intersection library. In addition, the method designates a portable library that includes a third set of pre-constructed code that utilizes a third set of syntax language from a third platform and a fourth set of pre-constructed code that utilizes a fourth set of syntax language from a fourth platform. Further, the third set of pre-constructed code and the fourth set of pre-constructed code are composed in order to accomplish the same task. The portable library is compiled with platform dependent code for a core service for the enterprise module.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

designating an intersection library that includes an intersection of a first set of pre-constructed code that utilizes a first set of syntax language from a first platform and a second set of pre-constructed code that utilizes a second set of syntax language from a second platform;

composing platform independent code for an application service for an enterprise module, the platform independent code being compiled and linked with the intersection library; and

designating a portable library that includes a third set of pre-constructed code that utilizes a third set of syntax language from a third platform and a fourth set of pre-constructed code that utilizes a fourth set of syntax language from a fourth platform, the third set of pre-constructed code and the fourth set of pre-constructed code composed in order to accomplish the same task, the portable library being compiled with platform dependent code for a core service for the enterprise module.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the platform independent code includes a subset of a first set of syntax language from the first platform and a second set of syntax language from the second platform.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the first platform is .Net.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the second platform is J2EE.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the intersection is positioned within a portable region of a portability tree.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the third set of pre-constructed code is positioned within a non-portable region of a portability tree.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the fourth set of pre-constructed code is positioned within a non-portable region of a portability tree.

8. A machine readable medium having stored thereon a set of instructions which when executed perform a method comprising:

designating an intersection library that includes an intersection of a first set of pre-constructed code that utilizes a first set of syntax language from a first platform and a second set of pre-constructed code that utilizes a second set of syntax language from a second platform;

composing platform independent code for an application service for an enterprise module, the platform independent code being compiled and linked with the intersection library; and

designating a portable library that includes a third set of pre-constructed code that utilizes the first set of syntax language from the first platform and a fourth set of pre-constructed code that utilizes the second set of syntax language from the second platform, the third set of pre-constructed code and the fourth set of pre-constructed code composed in order to accomplish the same task, the portable library being compiled with platform dependent code for a core service for the enterprise module.

9. The machine readable medium of claim 8, wherein the platform independent code includes a subset of a first set of syntax language from the first platform and a second set of syntax language from the second platform.

10. The machine readable medium of claim 8, wherein the first platform is .Net.

11. The machine readable medium of claim 8, wherein the second platform is J2EE.

12. The machine readable medium of claim 8, wherein the intersection is positioned within a portable region of a portability tree.

13. The machine readable medium of claim 8, wherein the third set of pre-constructed code is positioned within a non-portable region of a portability tree.

14. The machine readable medium of claim 8, wherein the fourth set of pre-constructed code is positioned within a non-portable region of a portability tree.

15. A system comprising:

a unit that creates a portability tree that includes a portable region and a non-portable region;

a unit that classifies a plurality of platforms and virtual platforms according to positions in the portable region and the non-portable region of the portability tree;

a unit that designates an intersection library that includes an intersection of a first set of pre-constructed code that utilizes a first set of syntax language from a first platform and a second set of pre-constructed code that utilizes a second set of syntax language from a second platform;

a unit that composes platform independent code for an application service for an enterprise module, the platform independent code being compiled and linked with the intersection library; and

a unit that designates a portable library that includes a third set of pre-constructed code that utilizes a third set of syntax language from a third platform and a fourth set of pre-constructed code that utilizes a fourth set of syntax language from a fourth platform, the third set of pre-constructed code and the fourth set of pre-constructed code composed in order to accomplish the same task, the portable library being compiled with platform dependent code for a core service for the enterprise module, the third platform and the fourth platform being positioned in the non-portable region of the portability tree.

16. The system of claim 15, wherein the platform independent code includes a subset of a first set of syntax language from the first platform and a second set of syntax language from the second platform.

17. The system of claim 15, wherein the first platform is .Net.

18. The system of claim 15, wherein the second platform is J2EE.

19. The system of claim 15, wherein the root of the portability tree is within the portable region.

20. The system of claim 15, wherein leaflets of the portability tree are in the non-portable region.
