System and method for integrating resources in a network

Abstract

A method for integrating a resource in a network includes receiving at a first adapter a command associated with a function to be performed by a resource. The method also includes receiving a first script associated with the command, and interpreting the first script to produce one or more first byte codes. The method further includes causing a second adapter to receive a second script. The second adapter is operable to interpret the second script into one or more second byte codes. In addition, the method includes executing the one or more first byte codes, and invoking execution of the one or more second byte codes at the second adapter. The execution of the byte codes at the first and second adapters is operable to invoke the function in and facilitate communication with the resource.

         42 . A method for integrating a resource in a network, comprising: 
 a first adaptor of a resource integration system receiving from a requesting entity a command associated with a function to be performed by a resource communicatively coupled to the resource integration system;    the first adaptor generating a first set of byte codes responsive to receiving the command;    a second adapter of the resource integration system generating a second set of byte codes;    the first adaptor invoking execution of the first set of byte codes; and    the first adaptor invoking execution of the second set of byte codes at the second adapter, the execution of the first and second sets of byte codes at the first and second adapters operable to invoke the function in the resource.    
     
     
         43 . The method of  claim 42 , wherein the first adaptor generating the first set of bytes codes includes: 
 the first adaptor retrieving a first script from a storage resource of the resource integration system; and    the first adaptor interpreting the first script to generate the first set of byte codes.    
     
     
         44 . The method of  claim 43 , wherein the second adaptor generating the second set of byte codes includes the second adaptor retrieving a second script from the storage resource and interpreting the second script.  
     
     
         45 . A system for integrating a resource in a network, comprising: 
 at least one processor having access to a storage resource and operable to communicate to a first adapter of a resource integration system, the first adapter operable to:    receive from a requesting entity a command associated with a function to be performed by a resource communicatively coupled to the resource integration system;    receive a first script from the storage resource;    cause a second adapter of the resource integration system to receive a second script from the storage resource; and    execute the first script, wherein the execution of the first script invokes execution of the second script by the second adapter, the execution of the first and second scripts at the first and second adapters operable to invoke the function in the resource.    
     
     
         46 . The system of  claim 45 , wherein the first adaptor is configured to interpret the first script to generate a first set of byte codes and the second adapter is configured to interpret the second script to generate a second set of bytes codes.  
     
     
         47 . The system of  claim 46 , wherein executing the first script comprises executing the first set of bytes codes and wherein executing the second script comprises executing the second set of bytes codes.  
     
     
         48 . A system for integrating a resource in a network, comprising: 
 executable instructions stored on a computer readable medium; and    the instructions operable, when executed, to cause a first adaptor of a resource integration system to:    receive from a requesting entity a command associated with a function to be performed by a resource communicatively coupled to a resource integration system;    receive from one of (a) storage resource and (b) a second adaptor of the resource integration system a first script associated with the command;    execute the first script; and    invoke execution of a second script at the second adapter, the execution of the first and second scripts operable to invoke the function in the resource.    
     
     
         49 . A system for integrating a resource in a network, comprising: 
 a storage resource operable to store a first script and a second script;    a first adapter of a resource integration system operable to receive a command associated with a function to be performed by a resource communicatively coupled to the resource integration system, receive the first script from the storage resource, and execute the first script;    a second adapter of the resource integration system operable to receive the second script from the storage resource, and execute the second script in response to the execution of the first script; and    wherein the execution of the first and second scripts is operable to invoke the function in the resource.    
     
     
         50 . The system of  claim 49 , wherein executing the first script includes interpreting the first script to generate a first set of byte codes and executing the first set of byte codes and further executing the second script includes interpreting the second script to generate a second set of byte codes and executing the second set of byte codes.
