System and method for interfacing distributed systems with different frameworks

An improved method and system for interfacing two distributed computing systems each implemented using different frameworks and different protocols. A gateway service provides some of the other services operating on a first system with software proxies capable of translating commands from clients in a second system. The gateway service also registers the first system's services with the registry service of the second system. Clients in the second system are thereby able to locate services in the first system and send commands in their native protocols to the first system services. Services in the first system are capable of, by use of the proxies, receiving, processing and responding to commands from the second system clients.
