Object-oriented Distributed Computing Based on Java Remote Class Reference

Recently distributed application systems take advantage of Java as an object-oriented and portable language.The widely-used client-server method limits the extent to which the benefits of the object-oriented approach can be exploited because of the difficulties arising when a remote object is the argument or return value of a remote or local method.In this paper this problem is solved by introducing a data object that stores the data structure of the remote object and related access methods.By using this data object,the client can easily instantiate a remote object and use it as the argument or return value of either a local or remote method.
