Inside CORBA


Book Description

"This book breaks the mold...by taking the reader through the entire spectrum of the distributed object approach, from requirements analysis through systems development, with a thorough treatment of relevant standards." -Dr. Richard M. Soley, Technical Director, Object Management Group Inside CORBA is a comprehensive and authoritative guide to distributed object architecture, software development, and CORBA (Common Object Request Broker Architecture) standards. CORBA is a consensus standard from industry that has transformed the way information systems are developed, both for creating distributed object-oriented systems and for migrating legacy systems to modern architecture. This must-read for all managers, architects, and developers of distributed systems begins by addressing the key organizational challenges to the adoption of CORBA and the essential management guidance necessary to ensure its success. Following this introduction, the authors present a user guide to the CORBA standards, complete with examples of their application. The user guide also features in-depth coverage of the Interface Definition Language (IDL), including the latest presentation of the new CORBA IDL Language Mapping for Java, and comprehensive information on the CORBA 2 standard and the CORBAservices. In addition, this book provides invaluable technical assistance on the application of CORBA by sharing essential lessons learned from experienced CORBA managers and architects and through the presentation of a case study. 0201895404B04062001




Advanced CORBA® Programming with C++


Book Description

Here is the CORBA book that every C++ software engineer has been waiting for. Advanced CORBA® Programming with C++ provides designers and developers with the tools required to understand CORBA technology at the architectural, design, and source code levels. This book offers hands-on explanations for building efficient applications, as well as lucid examples that provide practical advice on avoiding costly mistakes. With this book as a guide, programmers will find the support they need to successfully undertake industrial-strength CORBA development projects. The content is systematically arranged and presented so the book may be used as both a tutorial and a reference. The rich example programs in this definitive text show CORBA developers how to write clearer code that is more maintainable, portable, and efficient. The authors' detailed coverage of the IDL-to-C++ mapping moves beyond the mechanics of the APIs to discuss topics such as potential pitfalls and efficiency. An in-depth presentation of the new Portable Object Adapter (POA) explains how to take advantage of its numerous features to create scalable and high-performance servers. In addition, detailed discussion of advanced topics, such as garbage collection and multithreading, provides developers with the knowledge they need to write commercial applications. Other highlights In-depth coverage of IDL, including common idioms and design trade-offs Complete and detailed explanations of the Life Cycle, Naming, Trading, and Event Services Discussion of IIOP and implementation repositories Insight into the dynamic aspects of CORBA, such as dynamic typing and the new DynAny interfaces Advice on selecting appropriate application architectures and designs Detailed, portable, and vendor-independent source code

IIOP Complete


Book Description

The Internet Inter-ORB Protocol (IIOP) is a communications mechanism that allows object request brokers (ORBs) to communicate with one another. IIOP is an integral part of the broader Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) standard that has been developed and widely promoted throughout industry by the Object Management Group. IIOP was designed to allow disparate software components to communicate with one another, and it ensures interoperability on top of the most popular communications protocol in use today -- TCP/IP. While IIOP is a specialized subset of the broader CORBA specification, its popularity is increasing steadily. In fact, IIOP support has become one of the standard checkbox items that software vendors are adding to their product descriptions. This book provides a broad perspective of IIOP, allowing any CORBA developer to gain an in-depth understanding of this foundational standard. In turn, an increased knowledge of IIOP allows systems developers to more easily build interoperable objects for the enterprise.




CORBA Design Patterns


Book Description

Harness the power of design patterns to build CORBA-based applications CORBA Design Patterns provides detailed guidance in the construction of distributed applications based on OMG's CORBA. Founded on a philosophy of designing for change, the design patterns provide essential, proven guidance in lowering the risk of developing software in a distributed environment. The authors introduce you to the essential principles of CORBA and design patterns. They provide a framework for design patterns in software design and show examples for designing OMG IDL interfaces and integrating legacy and Internet applications. On the CD-ROM you'll find: * IDL for all available CORBA and CORBA services * All the source code examples from the book * Animated demonstrations You'll get: * Clear, step-by-step guidance on how to architect real-world designs using the OMG interface definition language (IDL) * A complete design pattern catalog offering expert solutions for designing and building distributed object-oriented systems * Step-by-step examples that demonstrate how to use all the techniques described to build both legacy and Internet applications Visit our Web site at: http://www.wiley.com/compbooks/
