This guide is divided into three parts. The first covers the essentials of the CORBA model, including the CORBA IDL, interface design and CORBA services. This section is aimed at those who want to learn enough to get started but who have little time. Section two shows developers how to create CORBA client/server applications with examples that they can reuse in their own work. These tutorial chapters cover dynamic invocation, the interface repository, security and other key CORBA services. In this part, the author also presents new features of the CORBA 3 specification. The final section shows how to create CORBA Web applications, with examples that use Java, JavaBeans, and the new CORBA component and scripting features. A final chapter discusses the future of CORBA. This guide includes a Quick Reference to the Java IDL and planned CORBABeans specifications, as well as a glossary of hot links to relevant Web sites and other online resources. The accompanying CD-ROM includes all sample code from the book, as well as third-party tools and middleware.
