Tools for Corba

Two best tools that i witnessed while starting to work on this standard for corba is visibroker and orbix. Both are product from Borland and IONA respectively. After a long troubled testing on both the tools i decided to work on orbix and hence any of the tutor on my blog will be related to orbix tools and its services. Both the vendor provide a period of time to evaluate the product. IONA will provide a license file at text file through email, once you have registered to them.

My First Project ! Working on Corba

CORBA is an open, standard solution for distributed object systems. You can use CORBA to describe your enterprise system in object-oriented terms, regardless of the platforms and technologies used to implement its different parts. CORBA objects communicate directly across a network using standard protocols, regardless of the programming languages used to create objects or the operating systems and platforms on which the objects run.

CORBA solutions are available for every common environment and are used to integrate applications written in C, C++, Java, Ada, Smalltalk, and COBOL, running on embedded systems, PCs, UNIX hosts, and mainframes. CORBA objects running in these environments can cooperate seamlessly. Through COMet, IONA’s dynamic bridge between CORBA and COM, they can also interoperate with COM objects.
