Abstract
A preferred embodiment of the present invention provides an improved system and method for object persistence. The preferred embodiment facilitates the creation of persistent objects in a way that is orthogonal to class and does not require the use of persistent mixin classes. The preferred embodiment uses reference objects, which to the view of the system act as the object itself, and storage objects which persistently store the data for the persistent objets. The reference objects include pointers to the storage object, and provide address translation and indirection when accesses are to be made to the persistent object data stored in the storage object.
