Abstract

This tutorial provides the basics that developers need to begin understanding the Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) and using it to write industrial-strength distributed systems. You will learn about the basics of the Object Management Group's (OMG) Object Management Architecture (OMA), with a focus on its CORBA component. By the end of the tutorial, you will understand how to write object interface specifications using the OMG Interface Definition Language (IDL), how to write simple distributed applications in C++, how to use the Portable Object Adapter (POA), the Dynamic Invocation Interface (DII) and the Dynamic Skeleton Interface (DSI), and the Interface Repository (IFR). You will also know the basics of several CORBA services such as Naming, Trading, and Events.
