TRANSPARENT INTEGRATION OF APPLICATION COMPONENTS
First Claim
Patent Images
1. An application interaction system, comprising:
- an interface component that interacts with a first and second application component executable by different execution environments or different versions of the same environment; and
a translation component that translates communications from a first to second protocol to facilitate interaction between the first and second application components.

Abstract
Differing implementations associated with components of dissimilar execution environments are mediated to facilitate component integration. A host is provided to facilitate native interaction with foreign components by translating between native and foreign communications. Policies can be specified by either or both of a native and foreign component that control interaction.

11. A method of application extension, comprising:
-
receiving an interface into a native execution framework; and interacting transparently with an application component of a different execution framework from within an application of the native execution framework utilizing the interface. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A control integration system, comprising:
-
a means for acquiring native control communication and/or foreign control communication; and a means for translating between the native and foreign control communication to enable a foreign control to be transparently integrated within a native application, the native application and foreign control are executable by different execution engines or different versions of the same engine. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
