Abstract:
Adaptability to special requirements of applications is a
crucial concern of modern operating system architectures.
Reflection and meta objects are means to achieve this
adaptability. This paper describes a reflective architecture
and the realization of different object-replication techniques
within this architecture.
The reflective architecture is an extension of the Java
run-time environment. We show how reflection can be used
to implement replication that is transparent to the replicated
object and its clients. The architecture allows a fine-grained
adaptability of the replication protocols to special object
requirements. The problems of replication in object-oriented
systems and their solutions are discussed.
