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


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
Need to abstract entities (Web Pages, database entries, simulations) and services as objects with methods(interfaces)
  • CORBA .. XML is "just" CGI done right
COM(Microsoft) and CORBA(world) are competing cross platform and language object technologies
  • Every Netscape4 browser has a Visigenic ORB built in
Javabeans plus RMI and JINI is 100% pure Java distributed object technology
W3C says you should use XML which provides a uniform way of serializing any object into an ASCII file
W3C also defines an object model for all documents and essentially EVERY object is rendered to user with this W3C DOM
How do we do this while technology is still changing rapidly!
