JWORB is an extensibe multi-protocol network server written in Java |
Current JWORB prototype at NPAC supports HTTP (+CGI+Servlets) and IIOP protocols i.e. it can act as Web Server and CORBA Broker |
IIOP and HTTP requests are distinguished by magic headers (GIOP vs GET, POST, HEAD etc.) |
New protocols can be added via JWORB extensibility framework (one such natural extension could be RTP protocol support for streamlined media) |
JWORB runs on UNIX, Windows NT, Windows95 |
JWORB is an NPAC proposal for Object Web middleware within a 3-tier distributed object model called Pragmatic Object Web (Page 3) that integrates Java, CORBA, DCOM and WOM (i.e. XML+DOM+RDF). |
JWORB will be soon used as middleware in several Object Web applications under development at NPAC (see next pages) |
