A system for communication in a distributed computing environment (100) is provided and includes a server system (12) having one or more server objects (106) and a client system (14) having a client application (104). The client system (14) is linked to the server system (12) by a network (102). An object request broker (108) executes on the server system (12) and provides server-side communications support for the distributed computing environment (100). A light client (116) executes on the client system (14) and provides client-side communications support for the distributed computing environment (100). The light client (116) communicates with the object request broker (108) to provide client system (14) to server system (12) communications. A light proxy (118) is dynamically generated in response to a request from the client application (104) for access to one of the one or more server objects (106). The light proxy (118) is uploaded to the client system (14) in response to the request for access by the client application (104). The light proxy (118) also provides a local communication link between the client application (104) and the light client (116).

DETAILED DESCRIPTION Accordingly, a need has arisen for a system and method for communications in a distributed processing environment that minimizes the size of the object request broker uploaded to a client system.
According to one embodiment of the present invention, a system for communication in a distributed computing environment is provided that includes a server system having one or more server objects and a client system having a client application.
The client system is linked to the server system by a network.
An object request broker executes on the server system and provides server-side communications support.
A light client executes on the client system and provides client-side communications support.
The light client communicates with the object request broker to provide client system to server system communications.
A light proxy is dynamically generated in response to a request from the client application for access to one of the one or more server objects.
The light proxy is uploaded to the client system in response to the request for access from the client application.
The light proxy further provides a local communication link between the client application and the requested server object.
The present invention provides various technical advantages over conventional systems for communication in a distributed computing environment.
For example, one technical advantage is providing a reduced size communications support module to provide client side communications support in the distributed computing environment.
In addition, the reduced size communications support module significantly reduces the time needed to upload an applet or application onto a client system.
Other technical advantages may be readily apparent to one skilled in the art from the following figures, description and claims.
