Foil 21 Client Stubs and Server Skeletons

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
The stubs and skeletons implement exactly the same set of remote interfaces as the remote object implementation.
The stub forwards invocation requests to the remote object implementation via the ORB layer.
  • Marshals (converts to machine independent form ) arguments to a stream
  • Informs the ORB the method should be invoked with these arguments
The skeleton
  • receives the request from the ORB layer
  • unmarshals the arguments
  • invokes the method of the actual remote implementation
  • marshals the results back to the stream.
