Abstract
A method for a first process in a first address space to communicate with an object in a second address space including the steps of determining, during runtime of the first process, that a communication link is needed between the first process and a target object in the second address space, generating a proxy object in the first address space corresponding to the target object, and establishing the communication link between the first process and the target object through the proxy object. In addition, an apparatus for a first process in a first address space to communicate with an object in a second address space including apparatus for determining, during runtime of the first process, that a communication link is needed between the first process and a target object in the second address space, apparatus for generating a proxy object in the first address space corresponding to the target object, and apparatus for establishing the communication link between the first process and the target object through the proxy object.
