Wrapping Existing Applications
Java (with visual interfaces i.e. JavaBeans) is natural tier 2 language
- JavaBeans can be used at tier 1(client) or 2(server)
Linking this to tier 3 “classic applications” gives rise to JavaBean wrappers for existing applications
These can be used in HPcc and commodity environments
Naturally become CORBA distributed objects and so can be remotely executed and documented (via CORBA trader or yellow pages service)
