A method for making distributed object calls from client applications to server applications is disclosed. In particular, the method of the present invention involves generating a data structure that contains information about the available IDL-defined interfaces and their related operations. An application loaded in the client computer then packs a request containing information about a specific operation of an interface into a message buffer in the client computer according to a predetermined format specified in the request. The message buffer is then sent to a server computer that unpacks the request from the message buffer based upon the predetermined format. The server processes the request and responds by packing its response into a message buffer according to a predetermined format. The message buffer is then transported to the client computer that unpacks the response from the message buffer.
