General Features of DOS

Distributed Computing and Object Systems

All Distributed Object Systems (DOS) include RMI, CORBA, DCOM, but not SOAP. They all share some features.
Object specification is used to generate
1. skeleton: an interface between object implementation and the communications code provided by the DOS.
2. stub: an interface between the client and the communications code. The client thinks the stub is the object.
The main idea is that we want only one class interface definition.
