Product Description

Product Description
Explains the rationale, object–oriented principles and engineering strategies in order to design, utilize and establish a successful CORBA–based structure. Demonstrates how the technology can readily accommodate heterogeneous combinations of platforms, R&D prototypes as well as legacy and commercial software. Describes how these techniques and tactics are effective within organizations and across federated communities of software suppliers and consumers.

From the Back Cover
A step–by–step guide to successful CORBA–based systems integration—what every systems designer needs to know to assure interoperability

The Essential CORBA is the only book available that deals with the application of CORBA specifications to systems development. It provides in–depth coverage of what every systems developer needs to know in order to establish a CORBA–based framework for the development of workable, distributed, object–oriented applications.

Written by experts in object–based systems, this valuable book clearly and precisely covers:

  • Theory and principles of standard object–technology, including CORBA, systems architecture integration frameworks, and Object Management Group (OMG) standards
  • Methods and techniques for establishing an effective CORBA–based framework
  • Object–wrapping techniques, including examples of commonly encountered problems
  • Strategies for software reuse and rapid application development
  • Assessment methods for current systems in place, and the benefits to the organization of improved system integration
  • Strategies for accommodating heterogeneous mixtures of platforms, legacy software, commercial software, and R&D prototypes
  • Design concepts for any type of system—custom built, component based, or one that incorporates elements of both—that encourage nonreliance on commercial software vendors
  • Questions of security in the context of systems integration
  • Product overviews for major CORBA object request brokers

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent summary of architectural constructs, 8 April 1997
By A Customer
Despite some distracting professor-speak, which belies a lack of practical or real-world experience with programming, the book does provide an execellent architectural view of CORBA for experienced professionals with some exposure to Object Oriented tools and techniques (anything from C++ to PowerBuilder). Weak perhaps on commercial tools and actual implementations, the book is strong on the case for the destributed objects paradigm and component-ware approach. I enjoyed it (but wrote furiously in the margins. Example: author elaborates objecti-orientation using a "TV set" metopher that I found completing unenlightening.)
