1. A method for transmitting objects in a distributed system comprised of multiple machines, each with an RPC mechanism, the method comprising the steps of:

  • specifying an object;

    converting the object into a stream containing a self-describing form of the object; and

    sending the stream to an RPC mechanism on one of the machines such that reconstruction of the object is deferred until the stream is transmitted to another RPC mechanism on another machine whereupon the object may be reconstructed by the other RPC mechanism by accessing program code identified in the stream.
