A method and system for providing a fault tolerant distributed computing framework. The fault tolerant system of the present invention provides inter-operability to applications and objects that operate in an existing distributed computing framework. The fault tolerant system includes a first layer including an application proxy operable to communicate with the applications as if the applications were communicating through the existing distributed computing framework and an object stub operable to communicate with the objects as if the objects were communicating through the existing distributed computing framework. The fault tolerant system further includes a second layer that includes a fault detection mechanism communicating through the first layer to determine whether any one of a plurality of objects has experienced a failure. The fault tolerant system further includes a fault recovery mechanism for recovering from the failure detected by the fault detection mechanism.
A fault tolerant architecture that provides inter-operability to a plurality of applications and a plurality of objects operable in an existing distributed computing framework on a plurality of networked computers, the fault tolerant architecture comprising:
A method for providing fault tolerance between a plurality of applications and a plurality of objects operable in an existing distributed computing framework on a plurality of interconnected computers, the method comprising:
The method of claim 11, wherein the existing distributed computing framework is a distributed component object module (DCOM) framework.
A computer-readable medium containing instructions which, when executed by a computer, perform a method for providing fault tolerance between a plurality of applications and a plurality of objects operable in an existing distributed computing framework on a plurality of interconnected computers, the method comprising:
A method for providing inter-operability to an application and an object in an existing distributed computing framework on a plurality of networked computers, comprising:
