  • registering directories of all sets of middleware policies supported in the distributed system;

    exporting a service object address to every directory representing a set of middleware policies supported by a service object on instantiation of each service object;

    registering the supported policies for each service object instantiated;

    on issuance of the remote method call, obtaining addresses for all service objects adapted to execute the remote method call and selecting one of said addresses;

    attaching to the remote method call the policy protocols for the directory from which the said one address is selected; and

    communicating the remote method call over the distributed system to the service object on a server.
