Zusammenfassung:A method and system are disclosed in a computer network for efficiently permitting code applets to communicate with other code applets remotely located within the computer network, wherein the computer network includes local network sites linked to remote network sites. Initially a communications link is established at each local network site, wherein the communications link permits code applets to communicate with one another. The communications link is composed of an InfoBus for inter-applet communication. The communications links are then interconnected, such that during a subsequent processing of the code applet at a local network site, the code applet may communicate with a code applet maintained at a remote network site, thereby forming a distributed communications link throughout the computer network. Gateways are also established at each local and remote network site within the communications network, wherein the gateways permit code applets maintained at local network sites to communicate with code applets maintained at other network sites. Each gateway established at each local network site is linked with each communications link installed at each local network site.
