An insider's guide to programming distributed objects using all of CORBA 3's powerful new services and facilities





Building on a new component-based architecture, more robustJava and Internet integration, asynchronous invocation modes, and quality-of-service control, CORBA 3 makes distributed programming more powerful and productive than ever before. In this Second Edition of the bestselling guide to CORBA programming, an OMG insider shows architects and programmers how to make the most of all of these features.





Author and editor Jon Siegel:


? Starts with an overview of CORBA, including all of the features added


? with details of the Object Management Architecture's CORBAservices and CORBAfacilities, including specifications in the CORBAdomains


? Walks you through a tutorial presentation of a real-world distributed CORBA application working the same example on 11 ORBs in the key enterprise programming languages C++, Java, and COBOL





On the CD-ROM you'll find almost everything you need to build and run the example (except a computer, of course):


? The IDL files (identical for all ORBs and languages)


? All source code in C++ , Java, and COBOL


? Makefiles for every ORB discussed


? Sample ORBs and development environments
