A method and system thereof for supporting multiple versions of software,
such as software organized as components or objects. In one embodiment, a
software component (e.g., a new object) is implemented on a server node.
A translator is created on the server node. The translator provides an
interface to the new object for an invocation request associated with a
different version of the object (e.g., an older version of the object).
The new object is referenced by one identifier, and the translator is
referenced by another identifier. In essence, the translator provides a
form of version transparency.
