Abstract:
1. A method of sending a message from a first common Object Request Broker to a second common Object Request Broker operating in a distributed object oriented environment, said method comprising: determining whether the message which is to be sent from a first common Object Request Broker to a second common Object Request Broker should be fragmented into two or more sub-messages; initiating construction of a sub-message which is to be sent from a first common Object Request Broker to a second common Object Request Broker when said determining determines that said message is to be sent in two or more sub-messages; initializing an offset-variable for said message to zero when said determining determines that said message is to be fragmented into two or more sub-messages; determining whether there is a need to know the position of a byte of the sub-message with respect to the message; reading the offset-variable for said message when said determining determines that there is a need to know the position of a byte of the sub-message with respect to the message; completing construction of the sub-message based on the offset-variable for said message; updating the offset-variable for said message; and sending a constructed sub-message, which has been constructed based on the offset-variable from the first common Object Request Broker to a second common Object Request Broker.
