Abstract

This article describes a minimal and modular ORB framework from which highly flexible ORBs supporting the introduction of arbitrary binding mechanisms between interacting objects can be built. This framework essentially extends the Java notion of object reference to make it distributed. Jonathan is a Java implementation of this framework, featuring a CORBA 2.0 "personality" and several different binding factories. It could be easily extended with new binding factories and personalities (e.g. a RMI personality) or scaled down to fit particular needs.
