Abstract: The present invention provides a method, system, and computer program for providing synchronous execution between objects written in an object-oriented programming language and business logic written in a procedural programming language, while executing under control of an interactive test facility for debugging purposes. A single, logical interface is provided during debugging, while actually spanning multiple programming models based on different technologies. Using the present invention, the developer is able to debug both the object-oriented user interface part and the procedural business logic part of an application as the code executes in an integrated manner.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method, system, and computer program product for blending object-oriented (OO) programming languages with traditional (non-OO) programming languages such that they can execute and share data in a coordinated and integrated manner. Occurrence of a special keyword construct within a non-OO function triggers invocation of an OO method or script, the name of which is preferably specified as a parameter. The OO script executes synchronously, returning control to the non-OO function upon completion. The disclosed technique enables OO scripts to provide a more natural, logical interface to users wherein results of the non-OO function may be provided when most appropriate to the logic being executed, rather than requiring the non-OO function to be artificially designed as in prior art systems which must account for the limitations of their non-integrated execution environment.
