A system is provided to facilitate distribution of a service between a first application and a second application. The system includes a remote socket object, a service registry, and a service mapper. The service mapper receives notification from the service registry indicating registration of the remote socket object created in response to a request for a service at the first application. The service mapper requests an active subscription list from the service registry and selects a subscription record from the active subscription list. The subscription record is associated with the second application. The service mapper sends the selected subscription record to the second application using a remote device port mapped to a localhost port and receives a service record from the second application including a socket for communicating with the second application. The service mapper sends a modified service record that includes a localhost socket mapped to the socket to the service registry that registers the second application using information from the modified service record.
