SERVICE VIRTUAL MACHINE

Technology is disclosed for processing in a computer program a request received by a service virtual machine (SVM). The technology can receive a request in either a first form or a second form, wherein the first form includes a target textual identifier, a reply-to textual identifier, and a parameter, and the second form includes a target textual identifier and a parameter, but not a reply-to textual identifier; identify, based on the received target textual identifier, a procedure; invoke the identified procedure and providing a value of the received parameter to the invoked procedure; in an event the received request is in the first form: receive a result from the invoked procedure; form a reply-to request in the second form, the second form including as a target textual identifier the reply-to textual identifier in the received request, and as a parameter the result received from the invoked procedure, further wherein the second form does not include a reply-to textual identifier; and send, to the SVM, the formed reply-to request.
