Abstract
A system and method for supporting multi-version remote function execution control in a distributed computing environment is provided. Remote functions are provided with a version identifier which uniquely identifies the version of the remote function. The version identifier can be a digest of the class definition of the remote function. The version identifier is used by an executor and/or class loader to ensure execution of correct class versions when on a node in a distributed computing environment. The definitive identification of class versions also provides for conditional transmission of class definition thereby reducing communication overhead for distribution of remote functions.
