Hi: How can I send a serialized method invoction via socket. I don't want to execute it remotly on the server, but just need to inform a server of the methods a client invoked. But that isn't all: The server, when getting the information of an invoation, needs to distribute and execute it on other clients (via socket). In other words, the method invokation from a client A, is distributed by an server S and executed on clients A, B, C, D. I need to know: 1) How to serialize the method and the arguments (I just know how to serialize the argmuents) 2) How to execute the methods on clients A, B, C, D when recieving the servers order. Thanks.

Hi, Methods cannot be serialized in Java, only objects can be serialized. Regarding your second question, the solution is having a controller class on each of the otherclients, B, C and D whose only purpose is to call the desired method. This class would have static information of method names or implement reflection to call the appropriate object and its method. Once A calls on a method on S, then S has to lookup on this remote object and pass it the method name as a string. This distributed remote object will then call upon the particular objects method on clients, B, C and D. Hope that helps :-), for more info, pls contact me on balaji@net4nuts.com
