An invention is disclosed for providing an asynchronous protocol framework. A
registry is provided having a plurality of proxies, wherein each proxy implements
a generic interface for a related to a software component. In addition, each proxy
is capable of providing specific messages to the related software component based
on an underlying design structure of the software component, for example, EJB specific
or JMS specific messages. A first proxy is obtained from the registry, wherein
the first proxy is related to a first software component, a message is sent to
the first software component using the generic interface of the first proxy. In
particular, the first proxy sends a specific message to the first software component
based on the underlying design structure of the first software component.
