Foil 3 Pragmatic Object Web Technology Model - I

From Collaboration and Scientific Visualization for High Performance Data Bases ISDA Meeting Doubletree Hotel Pasadena -- March 25-27. by Geoffrey Fox


1 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
2 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
3 Need to abstract entities (Web Pages, database entries, simulations) and services as objects with methods(interfaces)
  • CORBA is "just" CGI done right
4 How do we do this while infrastructure still being designed!
5 Major Commercial Java Activity today is on Server NOT Client
