We overview CORBA in general and then describe its use with Java Clients and Servers using the simple ORB available from the JavaIDL JDK 1.2 release from Sun. |
We give two simple examples : Hello world and the simple counter also shown with Visigenic ORB |
The JavaIDL ORB is not production quality but can be used to develop Java language CORBA objects which can then be used with other more sophisticated ORB's in production mode. |
Note the Java Language CORBA IDL is common to all ORB's |
JavaIDL respects this IDL binding and provides both a client or server implementation which respect IIOP and so interfaces with other vendor systems |
JavaIDL is a "JORB" -- a Java server implementation of CORBA |
