Abstract
An object oriented framework provides a set of objects that perform computer system server functions and that permit a framework user to add extensions for specific processing features, thereby producing a server program for managing computer system resources and performing desired functions. The framework includes a Server class of objects, which provides the server environment in which the objects performing server functions exist and serves as the primary interface between the server and the client machines, and includes a Service Object (SO) category of classes, whose objects comprise server function objects and implement two methods, one method called runMeFirst( ) and another method called runMeSecond( ) such that the runMeFirst( ) method is executed before the runMeSecond( ) method and interdependencies are resolved.
