ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for creating an object-oriented object with the ability to retrieve database type information from either a local source, or a remote source across an Internet connection via TCP/IP without the knowledge of the invoking object. The object is instanced with a well defined interface containing only primitives. All messages sent to and replies from the object are broken into primitives. The object works normally for local request. However, for request to use a server, the object utilizes a private method to open a connection with the remote server and transmit relevant instance information. The server then creates the requested object locally on the server and invokes the desired method(s). Responses to the method(s) are sent back to the client's private method, which formats the data, and hands it to the calling method.
