Synopsis:

A wealth of working code gives you hands–on experience in building CORBA–compliant applications.

In this valuable guide, Jon Siegel, Director of Domain Technology at the Object Management Group, and CORBA product development teams from across Europe and the United States present distributed object tutorial applications. Based on a common OMG IDL file, and worked in eight commercially available ORB environments using C, C++, and Smalltalk, the techniques presented in the example will help you write new programs faster at lower cost, and make existing programs easier to change, extend, and maintain.

CORBA Fundamentals and Programming also provides you with all of the necessary technical background and details about CORBA, CORBAservices, and CORBAfacilities. Discussion of each component starts with its impact on your enterprise—which of your computing problems it solves, and how it does it—and includes enough detail to show how all the parts work together. Descriptions of eight representative ORBs showcase the diversity of the programming environments which work together under the CORBA banner. The final half of the book is devoted to the tutorial example.

On the disk you′ll find:

• All IDL interfaces
• Source code in C, C++, and Smalltalk
• Make files for eight ORB environments
