Abstract:
A method for remote product invocation includes configuring an invocation framework that includes an integration module and an endpoint/handler module. Once configured, the integration module is configured to: receive a source object; format data from said source object for a desired operation; and utilize said endpoint/handler module to make a connection to an external service that executes said desired operation using said data from said source object. A system for remote invocation of external services includes a calling entity which generates a source object containing data for execution of a remote operation; and an integration module configured to receive the source object, interpret the source object, and pass the data to an endpoint/handler which opens a connection with an external service and executes the remote operation.
