摘要： A method and system for retrieving and maintaining presentation data in a presentation cache is provided. In a preferred embodiment, a presentation cache object provides a presentation cache with multiple cache entries. Each entry contains an indication of the format of the presentation data and the presentation data stored in that particular format. In addition, other information, such as the advisees of advisory connections for notification of cache updates, can be maintained. The presentation cache object responds to requests for retrieving source object data by returning presentation data cached within the presentation cache when it is available. In addition, the presentation cache object determines when it should delegate requests to the source object and when it can satisfy them on its own. The presentation cache object can return presentation data to a requesting client program even if the server program implementing the source object is unavailable or not running. The presentation cache object can also choose to persistently store its cache entries so that the presentation cache is maintained when the source object is closed. In addition, client programs can provide control over the frequency and subject of presentation data updates within the presentation cache.

摘要： A method and system for aggregating objects within a computer system are provided. In a preferred embodiment, the method aggregates an enclosed object within an enclosing object. The enclosed object has an object management interface and an external interface, while the enclosing object has a controlling object management interface. The controlling object management interface and the external interface of the enclosed object have query function members for receiving an identifier of an interface and for returning a reference to the identified interface. A preferred embodiment creates an instance of an enclosing object and an object to be enclosed. In static aggregation, the controlling object management interface of the enclosing object knows in advance how to return an identifier to the external interface of the enclosed object. In dynamic aggregation, an object to be enclosed is added to the enclosing object after the enclosing object is instantiated. Once aggregated, when the query function member of the object management interface of the enclosed object receives an identifier of an interface, it invokes the query function member of the controlling object management interface forwarding the interface identifier and returns the reference to an interface returned by the invoked query function member of the controlling object management interface. In dynamic aggregation, rules for determining to which interface to return a reference can by added to the enclosing object and used by the query function member of the controlling object management interface.
