A technique in which a component is given an interface that permits interoperation with components based on a different technology For example, a set of interacting Java object classes can be wrapped in a single NonStop CORBA class, or the code of a legacy server can be used as the implementation of an object supporting methods that correspond to functions of the server A recommended approach to wrapping is to develop a wrapper component that translates method invocations to some other message format, or vice versa, to allow communication between object-oriented clients and servers and legacy clients and servers
