                   28.   A program product comprising:                                                         

                   (A) an applet, said applet being used to retrieve an object reference                       
             for a naming context object from a server apparatus; and                                          

                   (B) signal bearing media bearing said applet.                                               


                   33.  An apparatus comprising:                                                               

              at least one processor;                                                                          

             a memory coupled to the at least one processor;                                                   

             a server system, said server system comprising:                                                   

                a) at least one object server, said at least one object server                                 
             including a naming context object;                                                                

             b) a web server, said web server having access to a stringified                                   
             object reference for said naming context object, wherein said web server                          
             downloads said stringified object reference to a web browser when said                            
             stringified object reference is requested by said web browser.
