Building on a new component-based architecture, more robust Java 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 best-selling guide to CORBA programming, an OMG insider shows architects and programmers; how to make the most of ail of these features. Author and editor Jon Siegel: • Starts with an overview of CORBA, including all of the features added • Continues with details of the Object Management Architectures 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
