Gateway Technologies
Built with multi tier architecture using secure CORBA and sophisticated WebFlow Java front end allowing task composition
- tasks defined in XML and can be saved/re-executed/edited
Kerberos built on Secure CORBA today but PKI Security fine
All object interfaces defined in XML and so front end totally independent of middle tier implementation
Supports Dataflow and more general object based computing model (executing objects linked by events)
Middle Tier Components based on Javabean model
Custom Middle-tier event model consistent with security
Middle Tier is wrappers (proxies) and so insensitive to performance problems in CORBA or RMI
XML Interface between Middle Tier and backend -- object model for backend not required
