Method and apparatus for dynamically loading method call exception code

摘要

A method for handling method calls in a client/server computer system includes the step of receiving at a server computer a method call generated by a client computer. The server computer then attempts to execute the method call and subsequently generates an exception. The exception is passed to the client computer. The client computer matches the exception to exceptions in an exception list stored in the client computer to obtain an exception object identifier. The exception object identifier is used to load exception code into the client computer. The exception code is then processed. Thus, the exception code need not be loaded at the time of generating the method call. Instead, it is only loaded when it is required at run time.
