sending executable data over network..

[Piyush Anonymous]

any idea or pointer how i could link it to running code in server?
for example, i get a new method definition for a method and i wish to change
it.
client sent new definition, i compile it in server. how can i link it to old
code?
if it will running in same environment, i would write
objectA.getdata()=getdatanew()

here?
