NetClasses++, C++ classes for message passing environments

NetClasses is a set of C++ class libraries that is organized as an object- oriented software toolkit for distributed, message-passing based programming.

Facilities include :

Transporting objects over a network. NetClasses can transport: Arbitrary C++ objects derived from PostModern's TransObject class, arbitrary NIH- derived objects, and NetClasses Typed Objects.

NetClasses Typed Objects provide an object-oriented data transport in which the structure and organization of objects is specified externally in configurable files using a simple, programming language independent abstract syntax notation, the NetClasses Abstract Syntax Notation (NASN).

Remote method invocations (RMI). Using RMI, an application on machine B can invoke a method on machine A. RMI makes fault tolerance and connection management transparent to the application programmer. The RMI layer is built on top of the distributed services package that is described below.

Reading and writeing all three varieties of NetClasses-transportable objects on streams using machine-independent external representations.

Currently available on Sun SPARC; currently testing on HP workstations.
