Foil 25 Pragmatic Object Web Technology Model - II

From Distributed Objects and Portals for Earthquake Science GEM Meeting NPAC -- June 24-25 99. by Geoffrey C. Fox


Need to use mix of approaches -- choosing what is good and what will last
For example develop Web-based databases with Java objects using standard JDBC (Java Database Connectivity) interfaces
  • Oracle DB2 Informix Sybase, Lotus Notes, Object database confusion becomes an issue of performance/robustness NOT functionality
Use XML to record small databases in flat files
Use XML to define all interfaces
Use CORBA to wrap existing applications
Use COM to access components of major PC applications such as Microsoft Excel and Word
Use Java to build all Middleware
Use Jini to implement dynamic registration of objects
Use HTML and JavaScript to render everything
