Distributed Object Web Technology Model - I
•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 defines a better IDL and perhaps an object model -- certainly does for documents
•How do we do this while technology is still changing rapidly!
