DS4  A receiving server offers a service which may be invoked
programmatically by a sender. The
                sender invokes the service by setting parameters in a local
object whose properties are then
     serialised into a message for transmission to the receiving server.
The receiving server
                deserialises the message and invokes the service. The
results of the service are then
     returned to the sender as a serialised response. An example of a
sender's invocation may
                be price = getStockQuote("ORCL",  "1/1/97").
