A method of and a system for processing an enterpise an application request on an end user application and an application server. This is accomplished by initiating the application request on the end user application in a first language (such as a markup language) with a first application program (such as a Web browser), and transmitting the application request to the server and converting the application from the first language of the first end user application to a language running on the application server, processing the application request on the application server, and transmitting the response from the application server back to the end user application, and converting the response from the language running on the application server to the language of the end user application. The end user application and the application server have at least one connector between them, and the steps of (i) converting the application request from the language of the end user application (as a source language) to the language running on the application server (as a target language), and (ii) converting the response to the application request from the language running on the application server (as a source language) to the language of the end user application (as a target language), each include the steps of invoking connector metamodels of the respective source and target languages, populating the connector metamodels with metamodel data of each of the respective source and target languages, and converting the source language to the target language. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Definitions.
As used herein the following terms have the indicated meanings.
"Handshaking" is the exchange of information between two applications and the resulting agreement about which languages, capabilities, and protocols to use that precedes each connection.
An "application program interface" (API) is a passive specific method prescribed by a computer operating system or by another application program by which a programmer writing an application program can make requests of the operating system or another application.
Exemplary is SAX (Simple API for XML), an connector that allows a programmer to interpret a Web file that uses the Extensible Markup Language, that is, a Web file that describes a collection of data.
SAX is an event-driven interface.
The programmer specifies an event that may happen and, if it does, SAX gets control and handles the situation.
SAX works directly with an XML parser.
A "connector" as used herein is a dynamic, run-time, interface between platforms that stores the functions and parameters of the target platform or program, and binds with the target platform program in real time.
A "stub" is a small program routine that provides static interfaces to servers.
Precompiled stubs define how clients invoke corresponding services on the server.
The stub substitutes for a longer program on the server, and acts as a local call or a local proxy for the server object.
The stub accepts the request and then forwards it (through another program) to the remote procedure.
When that procedure has completed its service, it returns the results or other status to the stub which passes it back to the program that made the request.
Server services are defined in the stub using an Interface Definition Language ("IDL").
The client has an IDL stub for each server interface that it accesses and includes code to perform marshaling.
Server stubs provide static interfaces to each service exported by the server.
"CICS" (Customer Information Control System) is the online transaction processing program from IBM that, together with the Common Business Oriented Language programming language, is a set of tools for building customer transaction applications in the world of large enterprise mainframe computing
