Foil 6 ORB Architecture Overview

From CORBA Common Object Request Broker Architecture Basic Information Track Computational Science Course CPS616 -- Spring Semester 1999. by Geoffrey Fox, Wojtek Furmanski, Nancy McCracken, Chao-Wei Ou, Shrideep Pallickara
1 The diagram on the next slide (from the OMG CORBA architecture specification) illustrates the overall client/server architecture of CORBA.
  • The Object Request Broker (ORB) on each side accepts requests for services, i.e. calls to methods of the object.
2 In fact, distinction between CORBA clients and servers is transient and dynamic, i.e. each ORB on the CORBA bus can act as client and as server
3 CORBA supports both static ("precompiled") and dynamic ("scripted") remote method invocation models
