System and method for processing transactions in an environment containing a number of object oriented applications
First Claim
1. A method for processing transactions betweena number of object oriented applications and one or more instances of the same transaction processor type or multiple transaction processor types, the method comprising the steps of:
- (a) establishing a first communication link between the objected oriented applications and a transaction processor interoperability component;
(b) externalizing a plurality of object oriented attributes into a data format compatible with said transaction processors;
(c) internalizing a plurality of transaction processor data into a plurality of object oriented attributes;
(d) determining which of the one or more transaction processors of the same or different type will process transactions for the utilizing implicit attributes of the transaction and a service database;
(e) establishing a communication link between the transaction processor interoperability component and the transaction processor that will process transactions for the object oriented application;
(f) transmitting a transaction from the object oriented application to the transaction processor interoperability component;
(g) formatting the transaction by the transaction processor interoperability component for the transaction processor that will process transactions for the object oriented application; and
(h) transmitting the formatted transaction to the transaction processor that will process transactions for the object oriented application.

Abstract
A computer implemented transaction processing system is presented for processing transactions between an application and one or more transaction processors. The system utilizes a first communication link between the application and a transaction processor interoperability component. Then, the system determines which of the one or more transaction processors will process transactions for the application and establishes a communication link between the transaction processor interoperability component and the transaction processor that will process transactions for the application. Then, as the application transmits a transaction from the application to the transaction processor interoperability component, the transaction is formatted by the transaction processor interoperability component for compatability with the transaction processor that will process transactions for the application, and finally transmitting the formatted transaction to the transaction processor that will process transactions for the application. Transactions can be started implicitly utilizing the attributes of the service name in the service resolver database. Transactions can also be terminated implicitly at the appropriate points both for request/response and conversational interoperability.
