Foil 5 CORBA functionality

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
CORBA objects differ from typical programming language objects in these ways:
  • CORBA objects can be located anywhere on a network.
  • CORBA objects (like Java objects) can run on any platform.
  • CORBA objects can be written in any of several languages.
CORBA object developers need know nothing of where their clients will be, what hardware or OS they will run on, or what language they will be written in.
CORBA objects approach universal accessibility.
