Abstract
Objects are transferred between a first and a second platform, the platforms being, e.g. Java and Net platforms, providing a reflection framework adapted to allow introspection of the meta-information that describes the structure of the objects. The arrangement provides for translating the objects to be transferred into XML payloads by reading the characteristics of the objects through the reflection framework, thereby carrying out introspection of the meta-information that describes the structure of the classes of the objects. The objects translated into XML payloads are transferred from the first to the second platform by means of an asynchronous peer-to-peer delivery facility, such as TCP or UDP. The objects transferred as XML payloads to the second platform are then re-translated into objects of the second platform.

24. A method for transferring objects between a first and a second platform, said platforms providing a reflection framework adapted to allow introspection of the meta-information that describes the structure of said objects, comprising:
- the step of translating said objects to be transferred into XML payloads by reading the characteristics of said objects through said reflection framework, thereby carrying out introspection of the meta-information that describes the structure of the classes of said objects.

35. A system for transferring objects between a first and a second platform, said platforms providing a reflection framework adapted to allow introspection of the meta-information that describes the structure of said objects, comprising:
- a translator module configured for translating said objects to be transferred into XML payloads by reading the characteristics of said objects through said reflection framework, thereby carrying out introspection of the meta-information that describes the structure of the classes of said objects.
