Tie (information technology)

A tie is a concept to bind a class skeleton to an implementing class. With this approach the class which should be invoked by a remote call, can be derived from a non-remoting class. Usually a tie class is used in middleware systems, to perform delegation from the skeleton to an implementing class.

Example

Usually:

 
    Stub -remote-> Skeleton (perform logic)

Tie Approach:

 
    Stub -remote-> Tie Skeleton -delegate-> Class (perform logic)
