Abstract
Method and apparatus for the dynamic generation of Stubs and Ties in RMI-IIOP implementations. In embodiments, dynamic RMI-IIOP may generate Stubs and Ties as needed at runtime, rather than statically generating Stubs and Ties. In embodiments, the dynamic RMI-IIOP mechanism may be implemented as part of the ORB architecture, rather than as part of the application server architecture. In one embodiment, Ties may be dynamically generated by the server-side ORB using reflection. In embodiments, different mechanisms may be provided for dynamically generating Stubs on the client-side ORB. These mechanisms may include a dynamic proxy mechanism and an external library mechanism. One embodiment may provide a pluggable interface to the client-side ORB through which different dynamic Stub mechanisms may be plugged in. Some embodiments of dynamic RMI-IIOP may be configured to load statically generated Stubs for client processes where dynamic Stubs are not supported.
