Synopsis

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.

Now there is a hands-on guide that goes beyond theory to show you what Corba can do.

Corba™ 3 features step-by-step instructions and practical examples that help the reader take advantage of this powerful technology. You get a complete background of Corba architecture, interface design, and IDL; guidelines for developing distributed architec! ture, writing code, and executing applications; techniques for handling dynamic invocation and the interface repository; a discussion of server threading models; extensive coverage of how Java and OODBMS work with Corba; and more.

About the Title
I would like to comment on the title that was decided by the publisher. Originally I wanted to wait until all the CORBA 3.0 specs are finalized. Unfortunately, if I did that this book would have come out in 1999 or later. The last chapter of the book focuses mainly on the future of CORBA which I believe will become CORBA 3.0 standard.
