Abstract
The present invention is a method and apparatus for processing an object call between a client computer system and a server computer system. Using the method of the present invention, an object call begins on the client system with the construction of a parameterized vector. The parameterized vector has one entry for each parameter of the object call. The parameterized vector is then initialized so that each entry in the parameterized vector points to one of the parameters of the object call. The entries within the parameterized vector are arranged in a canonical order. Once the parameterized vector has been completed, the object call is transmitted from the client to the server. The server receives the object call and allocates a parameter area. The parameter area has one entry for each parameter of the object call. The parameter area is then initialized so that each entry within the parameter area contains an object pointed to by one of the entries in the parameterized vector. The entries in the parameter area are arranged in parameter order for the server system. The object call may then proceed on the server system with the parameter area acting as the parameters for the object call.
