A method, system, and computer program product for improving the performance of distributed object systems. A remote object is replicated to the node of the distributed system from which it is accessed. The scope of the replication is a transaction. Thereafter, method invocations on the object occur locally, avoiding the performance overhead of frequent round trips to the remote persistent object store. Changes made to a replicated object by a transaction are represented using a tree structure that is internally managed by the application. When an application or application user has made modifications to a replicated object and requests to commit the modifications, a determination is first made as to whether committing the modifications will result in an unacceptable data conflict. If no unacceptable data conflict will occur, and after resolution of those conflicts that can be resolved, the modifications are committed. Nested transactions are supported, where each child transaction may commit or roll back independently.
