Foil 27 Static Invocation

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
To statically invoke an operation on a CORBA object, a client needs two things:
  • An object reference, an opaque handle that identifies the particular CORBA object to be invoked; clients don't create object references but obtain them typically from other objects, such as factories or a naming contexts.
  • A stub, which is a Java object that is a local proxy for a type of CORBA object.
Of these, the client developer is only interested in the object reference; the stub class is generated automatically and its instances are created and invoked automatically.
