Local Vs Distributed Objects
Local and distributed objects differ in many respects. Here are some of them:
- Life cycle : Creation, migration and deletion of distributed objects is different from local objects
- Reference : Remote references to distributed objects are more complex than simple pointers to memory addresses
- Request Latency : A distributed object request is orders of magnitude slower than local method invocation
- Object Activation : Distributed objects may not always be available to serve an object request at any point in time
- Parallelism : Distributed objects may be executed in parallel.
- Communication : There are different communication primitives available for distributed objects requests
- Failure : Distributed objects have far more points of failure than typical local objects
- Security : Distribution makes them vulnerable to attack.

“My objects dream and wear new costumes,
compelled to, it seems, by all the words in my hands
and the sea that bangs in my throat.”
