Actually, the article is just wrong.
Object oriented programming doesn't involve encapsulating objects and sending them across the wire to other programs for processing (although that is possible if you were to design client/server applications to facililtate it, you wouldn't send "objects" through the wire though, you'd send data and it would be reassembled into an object by the receiver). The example they used of a "web object" is just wrong... the java applet is a fully functional application that just happens to run inside a browser it can only run if you have java installed, your java environment is set up, and your browser properly configured. The fact that java is an object oriented language has nothing to do with transmitting or running java applets.
