Review
Aimed at proficient Java programmers wishing to exploit CORBA 2.0, The Official VisiBroker for Java Handbook offers a tutorial into the first real Java implementation of this object-oriented communication architecture. This book also offers introductory material on CORBA itself but is decidedly tuned for a sophisticated audience.
Authors Michael McCaffery and Bill Scott bring experience in distributed computing and Java to the table with an in-depth look at the core concepts of CORBA and VisiBroker. The subject is laced with acronyms, but the material is well organized. The writers spell out the essential CORBA concepts intertwined with VisiBroker features. After presenting the basics of the Interface Definition Language (IDL), they show how IDL data types map to Java equivalents and then proceed to more advanced issues.
Plenty of flow diagrams help illustrate the many abstract concepts addressed in the book. A companion CD includes all of the sample source code in the book as well as a 60-day trial version of the VisiBroker for Java product. A previously installed version of the Java Development Kit (JDK) is required.
Real-life CORBA applications are nontrivial indeed and the details do not make for casual reading. Thus, this title is best suited to coders who already have a mission with VisiBroker for Java. If this is your calling, however, this guide will help you navigate this still partially charted territory. --Stephen W. Plain, Amazon.com
Topics covered: CORBA architecture, IDL and Java, server and client communication, Common Object Services (COS), GateKeeper, Caffeine compilers, GIOP and IIOP.
