PROVIDING CLIENT AND SERVICE COMPATIBILITY THROUGH CLOUD-HOSTED ADAPTERS

摘要

An application provides client and service compatibility through a cloud-hosted adapter. The adapter manages communications between clients and services. The adapter translates a client request to a service communication through a service interface and a service reply to a client communication through a client interface. The adapter updates service interfaces to accommodate changes at the services while maintaining the client interface to isolate the client from the updates. The adapter also provides a service updateable user interface for the client.
