Abstract:
A computer network environment (10) allowing connection of a client system (36) to a legacy host system (18, 19) using a web/emulator server (26) is provided. The computer network environment (10) includes a legacy host syste m (18, 19) having TCP/IP connectivity. The legacy host system (18, 19) is operable to support a terminal session for access to the legacy host system (18, 19). The computer network environment (10) also includes a server syste m (24) executing a client thread (28) under a web/emulator server (26). The client thread (28) is operable to communicate with the legacy host system (1 8, 19) across a persistent TCP/IP socket connection (30). The computer network environment (10) further includes a client system (36) executing an applet process (42) under a web browser (38). The applet process (42) is operable t o communicate with the client thread (28) across another persistent TCP/IP socket connection (44) and is operable to provide a terminal session to a us er of the client system (36). This terminal session is supported by a persisten t connection allowing real-time bidirectional communication with the legacy ho st system (18, 19).
