The IIOP specification defines a set of data formatting rules, called CDR (Common Data Representation), which is tailored to the data types supported in the CORBA Interface Definition Language (IDL)
|
|
Using the CDR data formatting rules, the IIOP specification also defines a set of message types that support all of the ORB semantics defined in the CORBA core specification
|
|
The messaging formats and the CDR constitute the General Inter-ORB Protocol (GIOP).
|
IIOP is the GIOP message format sent over the Transmission Control Protocol/ Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).
-
Using IIOP any CORBA client can speak to any other CORBA Object.The architecture states that CORBA objects are location transparent.
