The J2EE connector architecture can be extended to reduce coding redundancy and resource consumption. A base J2EE connector can be used to allow an application to communicate with a first system or location. An extended connector can be used to communicate with a second system or location. The extended connector can use communication information located in the base connector, such that the extended connector only needs to store configuration information to allow the application to communicate with the second system or location.This description is not intended to be a complete description of, or limit the scope of, the invention. Other features, aspects, and objects of the invention can be obtained from a review of the specification, the figures, and the claims.
