ABSTRACT:
The invention concerns the transfer of messages between objects within an OOP program. Each message is transmitted to a message filter which then chooses the most appropriate mechanism to transmit that message to the destination object. The path chosen could be a system messaging technique for messages of a type to be transmitted anywhere within the computer or alternatively could be in the form of a direct call for messages to be transmitted to objects within the same program thread. The message path best suited to the message type and destination object is used to transmit the message.
