Abstract

A computer-implemented method selects a desired copy of a particular interface in a computer system that includes a client computer and a server computer. The method includes, at the server computer, annotating the desired copy of the interface with an identifier, and, at the client computer, selecting the desired copy of the interface based on the associated identifier. The annotating and selecting steps may be implemented using the RPC protocol.
