Abstract: Methods and systems consistent with the present invention facilitate communication between an IMS process running in an IMS environment of a first computer and a CORBA process running on a second computer. In accordance with an embodiment, a message destined to the CORBA process may be received from the IMS process. The message may be converted, outside of the IMS environment but within the first computer, to a format recognizable by the CORBA process. The converted message may then be sent to the CORBA process. Accordingly, in this embodiment, the interface may facilitate communication between the IMS process and the CORBA process without impacting the performance of the IMS environment.
