Application No. 08/619,060
BACKGROUND
The invention is directed to method and apparatus for controlling object
searching within a distributed object computing system environment. Claim 1 is
reproduced below.
1. An information-handling system operable within a distributed object
computing system environment (DOCE), comprising:
one or more processors;
a storage system;
one or more input/output (I/O) controllers;
a system bus connecting said processors, the storage system, and the I/O
controller;
an operating system program for controlling operation of the information
handling system; and
an object-based program operating in association with the operating
system program for controlling object searching in a constraint-based filtering
mode within said DOCE; said object-based program further comprising:
means for providing hierarchical storage of a name/binding value
during a search;
means for providing the addition of properties as name/value pair
sequence to each node within a tree search conducted by said object-based
program;
means for providing recursive searching of a group of properties.
