Foil 19 Pragmatic Object Web Technology Model - I

From Java Grande: Role of Java in Large Scale Computations NPACI Summer Institute on Parallel Computing -- August 21 98. by Geoffrey C. Fox
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
COM(Microsoft) and CORBA(world) are competing cross platform and language object technologies
  • Javabeans plus RMI is 100% pure Java distributed object technology
  • Every Netscape4 browser has a Visigenic ORB built in
  • W3C says you should use XML
Need to abstract entities (Web Pages, database entries, simulations) and services as objects with methods(interfaces)
  • CORBA is "just" CGI done right
How do we do this while infrastructure still being designed!
Major Commercial Java Activity today is on Server NOT Client
