[DUG] COM object question

[Conor Boyd]

Righto,

Not sure on that one.

You could still do something lightweight (Observer pattern idea or
sometype of event publishing) to notify any interested parties that a
server-side stub has been created on behalf of a client?

YMMV,

I've used a similar method previously with another application and that
worked fine, but required that the automation class had to import
another unit for the singleton object (trying to keep it lite). I was
kinda hoping that there was a global variable in one of the VCL units,
or a Factory singleton or something that I could refer to from outside
the automation class' unit.
