I've had no trouble doing that in Java.  You implement an interface on
the client side, create an instance, and pass the reference to it to the
server.  The server can then invoke methods on that instance in the
client.

That works between a Java client application and a server, and using
VisiBroker with its Gatekeeper, it works between a Java applet and a
server.  However, I can't get it to work between applet and server using
ORBacus.  I also have not figured out how to make it work using the
built-in ORB in Netscape.  I'm told by the OOC people that it isn't
possible without proprietary extensions.
