Distributed objects can be created in several different ways in DSOM.

• The client can create an object on any server that implements that class of object.

• The client can find a specific server upon which to create an object.

• A server can create an object and register a reference to the object in some well-known directory. (An object reference contains information that reliably identifies a particular object.)

The first two cases are discussed immediately below. The last case is discussed near the end of this section.
