ABSTRACT:
A method, apparatus, and computer program product for selecting and reviewing a distributed object installed on a distributed object system. A method of the invention includes generating a library of components corresponding to distributed objects on the distributed object system, which includes one component corresponding to the distributed object. Each of the components of the library includes information describing the distributed object to which the particular component corresponds. The contents of the library are displayed using a catalog interface device. The library is browsed using the catalog interface device to identify the component corresponding to the distributed object which is then selected. At least a portion of the information describing the distributed object is displayed.
