Overview

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 their 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 quick guide to understanding this revolutionary new technology. If you're in a real hurry, this book even provides a condensed tour that will make you CORBA literate in four hours or less.

Written in a friendly and 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 15 CORBA Object Services-including Transactions, Trader, Security, Naming, Events, Time, and Collections. These services provide the next step in the evolution of distributed objects.
* 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
* Products such as Iona's OrbixWeb, Netscape/Visigenic's VisiBroker, and Sun's NEO/JOE.
