    A framework for sharing data between network-connected applications and a
    remote procedure call mechanism.

    The normal configuration of the Presents system is client/server; generally
    with many clients connecting to a single server though a system exists to
    allow a network of peer servers to communicate with one another . All
    information transfer takes place through the server using the distributed
    object system documented below.

     For libraries that are build on the distributed object services as well
    as most code in a system using the distributed object services, everything
    you need are in these packages: 

    
    annotation - annotations
        used for dependency resolution, distributed object defintion and
        documentation purposes.
    
dobj - the core of the
        distributed object system.
    
tools - ant tasks for
        generating ditsributed object setter methods, invocation service and
        invocation receiver marshallers.
    
util - various utilities that
        simplify life for users of the distributed object services.
    

     Systems making use of the distributed object services will need to set
    up a client and server. The following packages contain those services and
    their implementation: 

    
    client - the client side of
        the distributed object client/server framework.
    
data - classes that are sent
        over the network (and hence shared by the client and server); constant
        definition interfaces.
    
net - classes used to define and
        implement the Presents protocol.
    
server - the server side of
        the distributed object client/server framework.
    

     Systems that need to scale beyond a single server will need to make use
    of services in the peer package which provides a mechanism by which
    multiple servers can operate in concert.
