CORBA

• The CORBA standard tries to obviate problems resulting from boundaries such as networks, programming languages, and operating systems

• An implementation of the standard defines

  • a language and
  • platform-independent object bus called an ORB (Object Request Broker), which lets objects transparently make requests to, and receive responses from, other objects located locally or remotely

• Each implementation of the CORBA standard is able to communicate with any other implementation of the standard., the protocol used to achieve this end is the Internet Inter-ORB Protocol (IIOP).
