Object managers on different computing platforms (14a, 14b) communicate with each other in a cooperative manner, while allowing the objects on the computing platforms to communicate with each other using a remote procedure call which preserves the object oriented characteristics of data independence and encapsulation. Preferably, each object manager indicates to the other object manager whether local objects have successfully responded to remote messages. The object manager can thereby preserve integrity of the object oriented system by committing or rolling back the system in response to completion of specific tasks or failure to complete specific tasks, even though some of the tasks occurred outside the local object oriented computing environment. <IMAGE> |
