Public Class methods

_load(s)

If the referenced object is located within the local server, then the object itself is returned. Otherwise, a new DRbObject is created to act as a stub for the remote referenced object.

new(obj, uri=nil)

Create a new remote object stub.

obj is the (local) object we want to create a stub for. Normally this is nil. uri is the URI of the remote object that this will be a stub for.

new_with_uri(uri)

Create a new DRbObject from a URI alone.

Public Instance methods

__drbref()

Get the reference of the object, if local.

__drburi()

Get the URI of the remote object.

_dump(lv)

Marshall this object.

The URI and ref of the object are marshalled.

eql?(other)

Alias for #==

method_missing(msg_id, *a, &b)
