At present, JavaBeans technology is focused on component programming within a single Java VM. |
Within the Sun philosophy of '100% Java', distributed Beans can be developed using RMI interconnect. However, the rest of the industry tries to protect their C++ investments while converting to Java. |
Hence, in parallel with JavaBeans development, the Web industry explores now the linkage of Java with CORBA based distributed object technologies which offer an full C++/Java interoperability. |
CORBA supports cross-language remote object invocation as well as IIOP (Internet Inter-ORB Protocol) based interoperability between object brokers from various vendors. |
