Foil 19 CORBA Trader - Overview II

From Master Set of Foils for 1996 Session of CPS615 NHSE Review Argonne -- September 30 97. by Geoffrey C. Fox, Wojtek Furmanski


CORBA Trading is most useful for genuine distributed object based services but it can be also naturally adapted to non-object-oriented software, e.g. C libraries, by building suitable object wrappers.
  • Wrappers can be automated to some extent
Such wrappers require additional effort from the software publisher side but it will pay off in the long run.
CORBA will enable object orientation in terms of a thin veneer wrapper around the non-object legacy software.
  • We expect tremendous community activity from this movement to object software base
