Your approach is pretty much like a "remote object instance" approach (like CORBA for instance).
Web service are slightly different. In your example, you ask your server to give you an instance of class A or B (depending if you call getA or getB) Since you got your instance of A or B, if you call a function (execA1, execA2, execB1, ...) you call a local function and not a remote fonction. When you have this in mind, you might reorder your sequence.
