Here's your quick guide to the standard that's reshaping the Internet and Client/Server
Distributed CORBA Objects have found their killer app. It's the Object Web--or the marriage of distributed objects and the Internet. The major computing companies--including Sun, JavaSoft, IBM, Netscape, Apple, Oracle, BEA, and HP--have chosen CORBA IIOP as the common way to connect distributed objects across the Internet and Intranets. Consequently, CORBA is about to become as ubiquitous as TCP/IP. Instant CORBA is your guide to understanding this revolutionary new technology. If you're in a real hurry, the book even provides a condensed tour that will make you CORBA literate in four hours or less.Written in a gentle, witty style, this comprehensive book covers:
- The Object Web--or how CORBA/IIOP, Java, and the Internet are coming together.
- Everything you need to know about a CORBA 2.0 ORB.
- The fifteen CORBA Object Services--including Transactions, Trader, Security, Naming, Events, Time, and Collections.
- CORBA's dynamic object facilities such as callbacks, dynamic invocations, object introspection, and the interface repository.
- Next-generation ORB technology--including CORBA 3.0's messaging, pass-by-value, and server-side frameworks.
- The marriage of CORBA with MOM and TP Monitors.
- Forthcoming CORBA attractions such as mobile agents, shippable places, and the business object framework.
