Abstract

In this paper we present the design and implementation of a Pluggable Fault-Tolerant CORBA Infrastructure that provides fault tolerance for CORBA applications by utilizing the pluggable protocols framework that most CORBA ORBs provide. Our approach does not require any modification to the CORBA ORB, and requires only minimal modification to the application. Moreover, it avoids the difficulty of retrieving and assigning the ORB state by embedding the fault tolerance mechanisms into the ORB. The Pluggable Fault-Tolerant CORBA Infrastructure exhibits similar or better performance than other Fault-Tolerant CORBA systems, while providing strong replica consistency.
