Foil 28 Pragmatic Object Web Technology Model - I

From Integration of Web and Distributed Object Technologies in a New Generation of Grande Programming Environments PDPTA Las Vegas -- June 28 1999. 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 convenient way to write IDL and define/serialize general object models
How do we do this while technology is still changing rapidly!
