1. An object-oriented middleware framework for use in a network having a plurality of hosts including a first host having an associated first memory and first processor; and a second host having an associated second memory and second processor, wherein the object-oriented middleware framework comprises: an Originator Command Container instantiating a Command by executing computer programming code stored in the first memory using the first processor; and an Invocator Command Container, remote from the Originator Command Container and its associated first host where the Command is instantiated, locally invoking the instantiated Command by executing computer programming code stored in the second memory using the second processor; wherein the Command is dispersed to the Invocator Command Container for invocation; the invocation is carried out local to the Invocator Command Container; and the Command has a programmatically generic invocation trigger such that functionality can be updated without requiring updated interfaces at the Invocator Command Container.
