Abstract

A World Wide Web browser makes requests to web servers on a network which receives and fulfills requests as an agent of the browser client, organizing distributed sub-agents as distributed integration solution (DIS) or intelligent decision server (IDS) servers on an intranet network supporting the web server which also has access agent servers accessible over the Internet. DIS or IDS servers execute selected capsule objects which perform programmable functions upon a received command from a web server control program agent for retrieving, from a database gateway coupled to a plurality of database resources upon a single request made from a Hypertext document, requested information from multiple data bases located at different types of databases geographically dispersed, performing calculations, formatting, and other services prior to reporting to the web browser or to other locations, in a selected format. The system is now a group software environment such as Notes for assisting work in a group software environment. Executable capsules are strung together capsule elements which are objects like DIS capsules or Java Beans and these are stored in a Notes control database as an application which can process files created within said group software environment. Upon request processing an appropriate output for the request using these strung together executable capsules and information provided during the request process and stores the final output of the process as a form in a Notes database which will contain the information produced by the execution of the strung together capsule.
