Dynamically Generating a Proxy Object in a Client for Dynamically Created Object on the Server Using Retrieved Class Metadata of the Object

Abstract

A method, apparatus and program product retrieve, in the client, class metadata of an object that is used by the computer program from a remote service, including retrieving object type data of the object, and dynamically generate on the client a proxy object for the object on the server. The object is dynamically created and resides on a server, and the type of the object is unknown to the computer program prior to retrieval of the class metadata. Furthermore, casting a type of the proxy object to a type that is specific to an interface known to the computer program without receiving any class cast exception. By doing so, the dynamically created proxy object may be utilized for remote method invocation in a distributed environment utilizing objects dynamically created on the server, often avoiding a costly deployment process and independent of any protocols.
