- Exchanging Data Between Globally Accepted Technologies
- When one is totally confused in today's decentralized, distributed environment for exchange of information, one can still encounter well-standardized, globally accepted technologies. Each of these technologies serves very well in their respective domain. But when the question arises as to how data can be exchanged between these technologies, one face...

- EJB and CORBA Integration
- As the enterprise started heavily relying on computing power for its day-to-day activities, the need for managing all that larger amount of data attained critical importance. Hence, the past two decades was indeed dominated by Data Base Management Systems. Relational Database technology enabled the needed data management technology. Then came...

- JAVA to IDL Mapping
- The growing relevance of CORBA and OMG in the Information Technology world has made it an irresistible option to Software Developers. Infact, CORBA is the only system solution that supports all major languages and most major platforms. Sun underestimated this when they avoided CORBA altogether in their Java solution. Well,...

- CORBA 2.3 - POA and OBV
- What better could have spoiled the party for CORBA than portability concerns? The first drive was to standardize the client interface of CORBA. This was a success. However, the server side was underspecified and resulted in incompatible server side implementations. Portability needs to be addressed in the next specification. This...

- Inside the IDL to Java Mapping
- Though Java and CORBA are complementary technologies, Java has a private world of its own and so does CORBA. All CORBA objects were intended to live beyond a programming language world like that of Java or C++. In fact, all CORBA objects live in a virtual world with semantics of...

- Integrating the Java and CORBA World
- Aeons in information technology speak ago, Sun Microsystems introduced the "Strap line", "The Network is the Computer", and along came a new revolution that changed the way one works. The days of an operating system running on a single machine is over. Thanks to the genius in Tim Berners-Lee, one...

- Using JXTA for Firewall Traversal in Distributed CORBA Applications
- JacORB is a free Java ORB that is ETF-compliant, that is, it supports the substitution of its transport layer in a standard way. JXTA is a peer-to-peer protocol stack, also implemented as free software, which can traverse firewalls and NAT gateways. This paper describes an extended version of JacORB that...

- Architecture and Implementation of Distributed Data Storage Using Web Services, CORBA and PVM
- The paper proposes an architecture and its implementation called PVMWeb-Cluster I/O targeted for distributed data storage and retrieval. Data is submitted via Web services from geographically distant clients or via CORBA from within clusters which offers better performance. The system consists of many, possibly geographically distributed clusters which run DAMPVM/PVM....

- Efficiency of Distributed Parallel Processing Using Java RMI, Sockets, and CORBA
- Software development is proceeding at a remarkable rate. Many new tools are available to the researcher in parallel and distributed processing. These tools include PVM, MPI, and Java. But, recently, a more general tool, Common Object Request Broker Architecture, CORBA has appeared. Since it allows a general view of remote...

- Towards a Reflective Middleware Framework for QoS-Enabled CORBA Component Model Applications
- Although existing CORBA specifications, such as Real-time CORBA and CORBA Messaging, address many end-to-end Quality-of-Service QoS aspects, they do not define strategies for configuring these QoS aspects into applications. This paper presents three contributions to the study of reflective middleware for QoS-enabled component-based applications. It outlines strategies for selecting optimal...

- OpenSTA 1.4.4 (Windows)
- OpenSTA is a distributed software testing architecture designed around CORBA, it was originally developed to be commercial software by CYRANO. The current toolset has the capability of performing scripted HTTP and HTTPS heavy load tests with performance measurements from Win32 platforms. However, the architectural design means it could be capable...

- The second object era and open source
- The history of programming is filled with fads.Some, like artificial intelligence and virtual reality, shine like supernova, then fade away.Others, like objects, just seem to. (The illustration is from a 2002 article on CORBA and JavaBeans.)I remember covering CORBA and DCOM objects in the early 1990s. The aim in both...

- ADORB 1.5 (Mac)
- ADORB framework provides a CORBA/IIOP implementation for Objective C. It implements native IDL to Objective C mapping - IDL types can be mapped to arbitrary Objective C classes. ADORB interprets the CORBA IDL files at run-time and dynamically creates the method invocations for the remote operations - there are no...

- Web Services Testing: A Primer
- DCOM and CORBA traditionally achieved what web services are now offering but with an exception to interoperability, which they later provide in a true sense. In addition, COM+, DCOM Distributed Component Object Model implementations from Microsoft were resource-intensive and were native to a specific Microsoft OS flavor. In other words,...

- Resource Virtualization in Real-Time CORBA Middleware
- Middleware for parallel and distributed systems is designed to virtualize computation and communication resources so that a more abstract and consistent view of those resources is presented to the applications that use them. This paper describes several examples of real-time CORBA middleware and examines how different constraints impact the way...
