In another aspect of the invention, a method for communicating between Java objects (302, 312) residing in different computer platforms linked by a network includes the steps of sending a message (306, 360, 370) from a sender object (302) to a virtual object (320) in a first host address and port number (304), the virtual object (320) being a virtual representation of a receiver object (312) in a second host address and port number (314), and creating a messenger (328, 362, 372) in the first host address and port number (304). The messenger (328, 362, 372) is then sent to deliver the message (306, 360, 370), which carries an identity of the receiver object (312), destination address of the second host address and port number (314), and the address of the result in the first host address and port number (304). At the second host address and port number (304), an host address and port number is invoked between the messenger (328, 362, 372) and the receiver object (312) for conveying the message thereto.
