Foil 15 The Pragmatic Object Web I

From Web Based Education and Training -- Lets Go for It! Dynamics of the Networked Academy Mississippi State Univ. -- September 9-11 1998. by Geoffrey C. Fox
1 What about the four different object models swirling around in today's technology cauldron?
  • XML from W3C is easiest and great for documents
  • Java Jini/RMI from Sun is most elegant
  • CORBA from OMG is most powerful
  • COM from Microsoft is highest performance and best developed and Gates will soon crush us all ...
2 So don't settle on any one of these but put all your material in a database; host your database with a server (called a broker in CORBA) and use "middleware" (an Enterprise Javabean and JDBC - the Java Database Connectivity standard) to map between models
  • Do NOT produce HTML pages
  • Can use Oracle or any standard "relational" database
  • Put up a token fight against Microsoft -- abhor Access
