Abstract:
A method is provided for use in distributing information (e. g. , World-Wide Web pages) using a computer. Based on a request (e. g. , a URL-based request) for the information, a remote function call (e. g. , an RPC call) is selected to direct to a source (e. g. , an application server) of the information. A predefined set of multiple requests (e. g. , for creating a âframesâ display) may include the request. Based on the request, a data object (e. g. , including a URL from the request) may be created, and the data object may be made available to the source of the information. The remote function call may be made across a function call bridge (e. g. , formed by RPC client and server software). Static or dynamic data may be provided. An operating system function may be invoked.
