Foil 14 Pragmatic Object Web Technology Model - I

From Introduction to Object Web Technologies (Internetics) Basic Information Track Computational Science Course CPS616 -- Spring Semester 1999. by Nancy McCracken, Geoffrey C. Fox


1 Basic Vision: The current incoherent but highly creative Web will merge with distributed object technology in a multi-tier client-server-service architecture with Java based combined Web-ORB's
2 Need to abstract entities (Web Pages, database entries, simulations) and services as objects with methods(interfaces)
  • CORBA .. XML is "just" CGI done right
3 COM(Microsoft) and CORBA(world) are competing cross platform and language object technologies
  • Every Netscape4 browser has a Visigenic ORB built in
4 Javabeans plus RMI and JINI is 100% pure Java distributed object technology
5 W3C says you should use XML which defines a better IDL and perhaps an object model -- certainly does for documents
6 How do we do this while technology is still changing rapidly!
