    examining a collection of metadata of a foreign class created in a first foreign object system, the first foreign object system different than the native object system, the metadata describing how to access an instance of the foreign class;

    creating metadata corresponding to the metadata for the foreign class, the created metadata created in a form supported by the single language host computing environment; and
