Abstract
An information object transport system for enabling nodes to transmit objects a digital data processing system. Each node includes an object store for storing a plurality of objects, at least one of the objects including at least one external reference identifying another object. An information object transport arrangement responsive to receipt of a command identifying an object in the object store performs a packing operation to generate a message comprising the identified object and other objects identified by an external reference of the identified object. After generating a message, the node transmits it to another node in the digital data processing system. Upon receiving a message, an external references resolution portion selects an object in a message and iteratively processes external references in the selected object to identify other objects in the message. The external reference resolution portion enables the object storing portion to store objects identified thereby.
