Foil 4 Pragmatic Object Web Technology Model - I

From Gateway Technology: Architecture, Collaboration, Intranets Gateway Workshop Aberdeen Maryland -- 24-25 May 99. by Geoffrey C. Fox


1 Basic Vision: The current incoherent but highly creative Web will merge with distributed object technology in a multi-tier client-server-service architecture with Java based combined Web-ORB's
2 Need to abstract entities (Web Pages, database entries, simulations) and services as objects with methods(interfaces)
  • CORBA .. XML is "just" CGI done right
3 COM(Microsoft) and CORBA(world) are competing cross platform and language object technologies
  • Every Netscape4 browser has a Visigenic ORB built in
4 Javabeans plus RMI and JINI is 100% pure Java distributed object technology
5 W3C says you should use XML which provides a uniform way of serializing any object into an ASCII file
6 W3C also defines an object model for all documents and essentially EVERY object is rendered to user with this W3C DOM
7 How do we do this while technology is still changing rapidly!
