1. A method for responding to requests with a connector, said method comprising steps of:
- spawning, with the connector, at least one connector master process and a plurality of connector slave processes, each of the connector processes having a connection to an application;
receiving at the connector master process a request for processing from an integration broker requesting a service of an application that has a single-threaded or non-reentrant application programming interface;
determining that the request is of an event triggered type;
determining whether the connector slave process is available;
sending the request to at least one of the plurality of connector slave processes normally dedicated to that type of request, when the connector slave process is available; and
sending the event-triggered request to a process normally assigned to call-triggered requests when there are not any available connector slave connector processes assigned to event-triggered requests.

Abstract
A system and method for responding to requests for processing made by an integration broker to an application having a single threaded application programmer interface, comprising receiving a request for processing; determining whether the received request is event-triggered or call-triggered; sending the request to a slave process assigned to event-triggered requests, when the request is event-triggered; and sending the request to a slave process assigned to call-triggered requests, when the request is call-triggered.

3. An application integration system for responding to requests for processing, comprising a processor configured to:
-
spawn, with a connector, at least one connector master process and a plurality of connector slave processes, each of the connector processes having a connection to an application; receive at the connector master process the request for processing made by an integration broker to an application that has a single threaded or non-reentrant application programming interface; determine whether the request is of a call-triggered or event-triggered type; sending the request to at least one of the plurality of connector slave processes normally dedicated to that type of request, when the at least one of the plurality of connector slave processes is available; sending an event-triggered request to a process normally assigned to call-triggered requests when there are not any available connector slave processes assigned to event-triggered requests; and sending a call-triggered request to a process normally assigned to event-triggered requests when there are not any available connector slave processes assigned to call-triggered requests. - View Dependent Claims (4)
