A "Cross-technology" Software Development Approach

Contemporary web-based software solutions are usually composed of many interoperating applications. Classical approach is the different applications of the solution to be created inside one technology/platform, e.g. Java-technology, .NET-technology, etc. Wide spread technologies/platforms practically discourage (and sometime consciously make impossible) the cooperation with elements of the concurrent technologies/platforms. To make possible the usage of attractive features of one technology/platform in another technology/platform some “cross-technology” approach is necessary. In the paper is discussed the possibility to combine two existing instruments – interoperability protocols and “lifting” of procedures – in order to obtain such cross-technology approach.
