Synopsis
The first wave of Java programs worked only on single desktop computers - they couldn't talk or share information with other computers, which limited their usefulness for most serious business applications. This text, written in collaboration with the OMG (Object Management Group), covers Java programming with distributed objects. This generation of Java program will be able to talk with any computer - regardless of differences in the operating systems and computer languages they use. The book shows Java developers how to use the new industry standard for distributed objects, CORBA. After setting out the basic building blocks, the authors move on to demonstrate to developers how to use them to build real Java applications. The authors provide real-world business examples, and show how to build both simple and more complex programs using the Java ORB tools.
From the Back Cover
Create industrial–strength enterprise applications using Java and CORBA
Java developers, here′s your chance to quickly master the skills you need to create powerful, CORBA–based business applications that interact with objects located anywhere on a network or the Internet, regardless of differences in operating systems or languages.
With this second edition, experts Vogel and Duddy have written two books in one: the first is a step–by–step introduction to programming with Java ORBs; the second is a solutions guide that provides detailed examples and design patterns for next–generation, Internet–based distributed systems. The authors provide many real–world examples to illustrate programming techniques, including complete code samples (not just snippets).
This completely updated and revised Second Edition features new and expanded coverage of:
∗ CORBA 2.1
∗ Java IDL
∗ Such advanced features as DII, DSI, and ANY
∗ CORBA Services for Naming, Trading, Events, and Security
∗ CORBA Beans
∗ Proven design patterns for Internet–based applications based on extensive, real–world project experience.
All examples are written using the Visigenic Visibroker ORB, but the techniques shown will work with any ORB you choose. Code and patterns are provided in source form in the book; complete source code is provided on the companion website.
Java Programming with CORBA, Second Edition gets you up to speed on what you need to know to satisfy the growing demand for fully interoperable, distributed, object–oriented enterprise applications.
On the book′s companion website –www.wiley.com/compbooks/vogel–you′ll find:
∗ All code from the book, ready to download
∗ Sample ORBs, including Visibroker.
