DRbIdConv

Class responsible for converting between an object and its id.

This, the default implementation, uses an object's local ObjectSpace __id__ as its id. This means that an object's identification over drb remains valid only while that object instance remains alive within the server runtime.

For alternative mechanisms, see DRb::TimerIdConv in rdb/timeridconv.rb and DRbNameIdConv in sample/name.rb in the full drb distribution.

DRbObject

Object wrapping a reference to a remote drb object.

Method calls on this object are relayed to the remote object that this object is a stub for.

DRbUndumped

Mixin module making an object undumpable or unmarshallable.

If an object which includes this module is returned by method called over drb, then the object remains in the server space and a reference to the object is returned, rather than the object being marshalled and moved into the client space.
