From Java Distributed Collaborative Environment as a CORBA and RMI Example Tutorial: ITEA HPCC Conference Aberdeen Md. -- July 13 98. by Shrideep Pallickara
1 The IIOP specification defines a set of data formatting rules, called CDR (Common Data Representation), which is tailored to the data types supported in the CORBA Interface Definition Language (IDL)
2 Using the CDR data formatting rules, the IIOP specification also defines a set of message types that support all of the ORB semantics defined in the CORBA core specification
3 The messaging formats and the CDR constitute the General Inter-ORB Protocol (GIOP).
4 IIOP is the GIOP message format sent over the Transmission Control Protocol/ Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).
  • Using IIOP any CORBA client can speak to any other CORBA Object.The architecture states that CORBA objects are location transparent.
