ABSTRACT:
A distributed object messaging system and method (10) are provided for a plurality of nodes (15-21, 25-32) distributed in multiple physically separate sites (12, 13). There are a plurality of processes (40-44) executing in each node. The processes register a plurality of objects in each node. The objects include client objects and server objects. The server objects may be registered for global service for service availability to client objects in a local node, local site and/or site global service for service availability for client object in remote sites. a server object database (46) is used in each node to store a server object description for each server object registered in the node and objects registered in remote nodes that are registered for global or site global service. a client-server interface (50) is accessible by client objects and receives requests for services therefrom. The client-server interface accesses the server object database (46) for at least one destination server object capable of performing the client object's requested service, and forwards the service request to the destination server objects at a local site or a remote site.
