Abstract
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.
