Hi Gregg,
Thinking out loud:
Transferable, I think it's close, it works for
TransferableObjectFactory, it's created on demand to transfer a non
serializable object via a serialization stream and it transfers a
factory from one jvm to another, in order to recrate the original object
in another jvm.
As for Distributed, transfer would imply the original object is moved
from one place to another (deleted and recreated), while that could
occur, it's also possible for the originating object to be duplicated as
well, so it works for what's currently called SerialReflectionFactory,
but Transferable wouldn't be a candidate for the Distributed interface.
If the original object has state, then it would be a snapshot of the
original object at some point in time, hence memento.
It could be called TransferableMemento or SerializableMemento, it's
created within a ObjectOutputStream and replaced in an ObjectInputStream.
Then that leaves Distributed, perhaps Distributable is better? Other
words are Propagatable, Disseminatable. Latin: disseminare "scattering
seeds"
interface Distributable {
SerializableMemento distribute();
}
Dissemino - dis (in all directions) + semino (I plant, I sow).
Cheers,
Peter.

Why not
* RemoteRecreationFactory
* DistributedCloningFactory
* or a combination of the above?
This way the name is after the goal of the class, not its implementation...
