System and method for server-side communication support in a distributed computing environment

A method for server-side communication support in a distributed computing environment, comprising:

• receiving a method invocation request from a client application on a client system for invoking a method of a server object on a server system;
• obtaining a local reference to the server object using information from the method invocation request, the local reference including a location of the server object and a type of the server object;
• obtaining a type object representing a class of the server object using the server object type included in the local reference;
• forwarding the method invocation request to a specialized function object, the specialized function object corresponding to a method of the server object referenced in the method invocation request, the specialized function object receiving and providing wrapper functionality for the method of the server object without generation of a wrapper class, wherein unique functionality is added to the one or more specialized function objects after instantiation of the one or more specialized function objects;
• performing preliminary processing on the method invocation request at the specialized function object;
• invoking the method of the server object referenced in the method invocation request.

A server-side object request broker, comprising:

• a local reference object operable to provide an address and a type of a server object, the server object being the destination of an incoming message;
• a type object accessible by the local reference object and providing a communication path to one or more methods of the server object;
• and
• one or more specialized function objects providing basic common functionality and corresponding in number to the one or more methods of the server object, the one or more specialized function objects linked to the type object and the one or more methods of the server object, the specialized function objects operable to receive and provide wrapper functionality in order to perform preliminary processing on messages destined for the server object without the need for a wrapper class, wherein unique functionality is added to the one or more specialized function objects after instantiation of the one or more specialized function objects.
