ABSTRACT:
The invention is a method and apparatus for dynamically loading a gateway server into a client machine if one is needed for the client machine to communicate directly with a program in another domain. In brief summary, when a new machine receives an object reference, this new machine must determine whether it can use the object reference as is for further communications or whether it must try to modify the object reference before using it. The new machine makes this determination by seeing if the front handle of the object reference points to a gateway object that is located on the new machine. If so, then the new machine can use the object reference as is. If the front handle pointer indicates that the designated gateway object is on another machine, then the task is to find or create a new gateway object on the new machine for use in further communications and to modify the object reference accordingly.
