Abstract

A computer implemented method includes receiving a client programming language input and a server programming language input, processing the client and server programming language inputs, and translating the client programming language input into an executable client application and the server programming language input into an executable server application, the executable client and server applications operable to communicate with each other. Processing the client and server programming language inputs includes identifying any invocations of server procedures of the server programming language input in the client programming language input, producing a combined server procedure in the server programming language input for identified server procedures invoked by the client programming language input, and replacing invocations of the identified server procedures in the client programming language input with an invocation of the combined server procedure.
