System and method for support of legacy communications protocols in a smart card

摘要

In general, the invention relates to a converter. The converter includes logic for reading annotations in a source program, where the annotations provide a mapping between method names for methods invoked using messages in a legacy protocol and a native protocol. The converter further includes logic for creating a mapping data structure using the annotations to provide a mapping between method invoking instructions in the legacy protocol and method invoking instructions in the native protocol.
