System and method for distributed processing in a computer network

摘要

A remote proxy generator (300) generates a remote proxy class for use in client-side communications for communications between a client application (108) and a server object (110). A client-side type generator (302) generates a type object (174) that represents a class of the server object (110) and provides access to methods (190) of the server object (110). A client-side function generator (304) generates one or more function objects (172) corresponding in number to one or more methods (190) of server object (110). A client-side reference generator (306) generates a reference object (158) for managing encoding of messages sent between a remote proxy object (154) and the server object (110) into a format of a communications protocol used by a server-side object request broker (114). A client-side streamer generator (308) generates a set of streamer objects (180) corresponding in number to the one or more methods (190) of the server object (110). Each streamer object (190) encodes a method invocation request for an associated method (190) of the server object (110). A server-side local reference generator (310) generates a local reference object (202) that includes an address and a type of the server object (110). A server-side type generator (312) generates a type object (204).
