Reflection & RMI

Hi,
are there, in C++, similar mechanisms to Java's Reflection and/or Java RMI(Remote Method Invokation)? If so, could someone tell me how to use them?
I know there's RTTI, but, from what i know, using it i can only find out if the most specialized type of a variable.
Thanks

As far as RMI is concerned you might possibly want to look into CORBA.

Perhaps this site may also help you.
