Today's computing paradigm of "The Network is the Computer" has fundamentally changed the way we build applications. Java has been a powerful force for change in this regard. Compliment Java with CORBA and this type of solution is likely to become ubiquitous. The tutorial will introduce CORBA basics and demonstrate their implementation using Java. The tutorial will also introduce some common CORBA design patterns and other useful tips and tricks for overcoming some of the difficulties with distributed object applications. Finally, CORBA is briefly contrasted with RMI and DCOM/COM+.
Attendees will learn about distributed object concepts and how distributed applications are built in Java with CORBA. They will be introduced to some of the common problems encountered in this domain and shown how these problems can be overcome. Attendee Background: A working knowledge of Java is essential. Some experience with object modeling would be useful since some of the design elements are presented using the UML. The material is intended for developers and architects who would like to learn more about CORBA and come to grips with some of the issues related to building distributed applications using CORBA and Java. Nigel Bakker is a Senior Consultant in Object Technology at Software Futures. He has had over 13 years of software development experience, including eight years applying Object Technology in applications ranging from banking systems to embedded controller and communication systems. He has recently been asked to author a column for the online publication ITWeb. ( http://www.itweb.co.za ) |
