To facilitate communication, a reference to an original object of the origin machine is constructed within a remote object services level. Then reference is passed within the remote object services level from the origin machine to the target machine. The passing of the reference, in turn, causes a creation of a proxy and an invocation of a target method on the target machine. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A computer implemented method for facilitating communication between an origin system and a target system comprising: constructing, by a processor disposed on the origin system, within a remote object services level a reference to an original object of the origin system; passing within the remote object services level the reference from the origin system to the target system; and in response to passing the reference, causing an invocation of a target method on the target system that enables a receipt of a proxy by the origin system from the target system, wherein the target method is not configured to accept arguments. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The computer implemented method of claim 1, wherein the reference includes a remote object services framework reference of the original object. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The computer implemented method of claim 1, wherein a remote object services framework on the target system instantiates a target object encapsulating an internally created remote object services proxy in response to receiving the reference. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The computer implemented method of claim 1, wherein the original object is stored by the remote object services framework on the origin system. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The computer implemented method of claim 1, wherein the original object is a data stream. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The computer implemented method of claim 1, wherein the original object is not capable of being serialized. ### Claim 7 A computer program product, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions facilitating communication between an origin system and a target system embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a processor to cause the processor to perform: constructing within a remote object services level a reference to an original object of the origin system; passing within the remote object services level the reference from the origin system to the target system; and in response to passing the reference, causing an invocation of a target method on the target system that enables a receipt of a proxy by the origin system from the target system, wherein the target method is not configured to accept arguments. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The computer program product of claim 7, wherein the reference includes a remote object services framework reference of the original object. ### Claim 9 (depends on 7) The computer program product of claim 7, wherein a remote object services framework on the target system instantiates a target object encapsulating an internally created remote object services proxy in response to receiving the reference. ### Claim 10 (depends on 7) The computer program product of claim 7, wherein the original object is stored by the remote object services framework on the origin system. ### Claim 11 (depends on 7) The computer program product of claim 7, wherein the original object is a data stream. ### Claim 12 (depends on 7) The computer program product of claim 7, wherein the original object is not capable of be serialized. ### Claim 13 A system comprising: a memory having computer readable instructions; and a processor for executing the computer readable instructions for facilitating communication between an origin machine and a target machine, the computer readable instructions including: constructing within a remote object services level a reference to an original object of the origin machine; passing within the remote object services level the reference from the origin machine to the target machine; and in response to passing the reference, causing an invocation of a target method on the target system that enables a receipt of a proxy by the origin system from the target system, wherein the target method is not configured to accept arguments. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The system of claim 13, wherein the reference includes a remote object services framework reference of the original object. ### Claim 15 (depends on 13) The system of claim 13, wherein a remote object services framework on the target system instantiates a target object encapsulating an internally created remote object services proxy in response to receiving the reference. ### Claim 16 (depends on 13) The system of claim 13, wherein the original object is stored by the remote object services framework on the origin system. ### Claim 17 (depends on 13) The system of claim 13, wherein the original object is a data stream. ### Claim 18 (depends on 13) The system of claim 13, wherein the original object is not capable of be serialized.
