Middleware ORB connects via IIOP to other ORBs on the CORBA bus. This mechanism enables global connectivity via CORBA white/yellow page services such as Naming Service or Trader Service and their federations. |
Client-side ORBlet is also a lightweight server - hence clients can be called by servers via the CORBA callback mechanism. This enables interactive feedback, asynchronous notification and a variety of collaboratory frameworks over the CORBA bus. |
In consequence, IIOP enabled browsers connected to the CORBA bus are turning the Web into a global multi-server collaboratory system. |
