The CORBA specification defines a Dynamic Invocation Interface (DII) that can be used to dynamically build requests on remote objects. This interface is described in section 6 (page 105) of the CORBA 1.1 document, and is implemented in DSOM. The DSOM implementation of the DII is described later in this chapter, in the topic entitled "Dynamic Invocation Interface" under Section 6.9 "Advanced topics." Note that, in DSOM, somDispatch is overridden so that method invocations on proxy objects are forwarded to the remote target object. SOM applications can use the SOM somDispatch method for dynamic method calls whether the object is local or remote.
