Abstract
One aspect of the invention is a method for activation and deactivation of distributed objects. A first number of a plurality of distributed objects are stored in the memory of a first computer. A request is received to execute a method on a first one of the plurality of distributed objects wherein the first distributed object is to be stored in the memory of the first computer but is not currently stored in the memory of the first computer and wherein the request comprises the object identity of the first distributed object. One of the first number of distributed objects resident in the memory of the first computer is deactivated in response to the request if a resource limit has been reached. A first distributed object is activated wherein the object identity of the first distributed object is used to determine the object class and location of the first distributed object. The method is executed in response to the request.
