Abstract: A system and method are described in which skeletons and/or stubs are manipulated based on deployment information. For example, a method according to one embodiment of the invention comprises: compiling source code to generate program code executable on an application server comprised of a plurality of different virtual machines, the program code containing stubs and/or skeletons; analyzing the program code to identify stubs and/or skeletons generated for objects which are located within the same virtual machine and/or the same physical machine; removing the stubs and/or skeletons for those objects which are located in the same virtual machine and/or same physical machine to generate modified program code; and deploying the modified program code.

Abstract: A method is described that involves processing a shared closure by removing, from each non-shareable object in a closure, content that causes each of the non-shareable objects to be non-shareable. The method also involves serializing each of the non-shareable objects by removing the content that causes each of the non-shareable objects to be non-shareable. The method also entails de-serializing each of the non-shareable objects after receiving them from a shared memory. The method also entails comparing contents of each non-shareable object, and, determining whether each of the non-shareable objects contain equal content before the serialization and after the de-serialization.
