Foil 19 Object Implementation

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 An object implementation provides the semantics of the object, usually by defining data for the object instance and code for the object's methods.
2 Often the implementation will use other objects or additional software to implement the behavior of the object. In some cases, the primary function of the object is to have side-effects on other things that are not formal CORBA objects.
  • Note "anything" (Web Page to CGI script to online medical instrument) is really an object and can be made a formal CORBA object by a suitable wrapper.
3 Note (theoretically) that a client of one ORB (say JavaIDL) can access objects from other ORB's (say Visigenic) as IIOP provides interoperability.
