Programming thin clients using communications

This section details the use of SST's infrastructure to build your distributed applications. It builds on the previous chapters, which described two general approaches to building distributed applications with SST: remote procedure call and remote object invocation.

The fundamental differences between these approaches is in what objects you manipulate and the degree to which you must build distributed applications as opposed to applications which run in a distributed environment. In the former case you deal primarily with invocation handlers and endpoints, in the latter with application contexts and remote references.
