Distributed, object-oriented middle tier
-
CORBA objects (Gateway Containers, Gateway Modules and Gateway Services) implemented in Java. [Scalable, extensible, low-maintenance middle tier]
-
Containers define the user environment.
-
Modules and Services serve as proxies: they accept the user requests (Front End) and delegate them to the Back End. [Support for distributed, heterogeneous back-end services managed independently from Gateway]
-
Note: modules can be implemented in C++; also can be DCOM components
