Abstract

See full text

Methods and apparatus for reducing computing overhead by creating fast, local-only objects in a distributed client/server based computing system are disclosed. In one aspect of the invention, within an object-based computing system, a method for creating an object reference that is associated with a local-only servant object includes implementing a first base class to create a first object that represents the object reference, and obtaining a local-only create closure. An operation is called on a second base class using the local-only create closure. The operation creates a server-side representation associated with the local-only servant object, and is stored in the first object that represents the object reference. In one embodiment, creating the local-only create closure includes creating a skeleton object and calling a local m-table builder for the skeleton object.
