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!
