Abstract
A connection is dynamically created between a graphic user interface (GUI) and a statically typed, distributed object using the present invention. The connection is created without requiring a developer to write customized code. The surrogate object acts as an intermediary between the GUI and the distributed object. The surrogate object is created using declarative information specified at build time and information generated at run time. The GUI and statically typed, distributed objects are connected via the surrogate object
