CORBA is an open, vendor independent +system that applications use to work together over networks. Thie purpose +of this package is to provide CORBA APIs to java programming language, +including the fully functional Object Request Broker ({@link org.omg.CORBA.ORB}). + +<a name="overview"> +<h4>Overview of the currently implemented CORBA functionality</h4> +<p>The CORBA implementation in the Classpath project is now a working prototype. + This prototype is interoperable with Sun's implementation v 1.4, transferring + object references, primitive types, narrow and wide strings, arrays, structures + and trees between these two platforms. The thrown exceptions are also transferred + and handled. The support for stringified object references (IORs) is implemented. + The redirection commands works, LOCATION_FORWARD_PERM changing the target address + until the application is restarted and LOCATION_FORWARD redirecting for the + current session only. Both Little and Big Endian encoded messages + are accepted. The encoding of the sent messages is the same as used in the + stringified IOR reference of that object or Big Endian, if no such data + available. + </p> + <p> + The current release supports the Value types that appeared since v 1.3 and are + something between CORBA structures (no methods, data local) and CORBA objects + (both methods and data remote). Value type has local data, can have + local methods and is transferred by value, not by IOR reference. + </p> + <p> + You can use both request-oriented (based on {@link org.omg.CORBA.Request}) + and stream-oriented (based on {@link org.omg.CORBA.portable.ObjectImpl}) + invocation models. The current release includes the working examples, demonstrating + the client-server communication using both methods. These examples also show, + how to use the Classpath naming service. The IDL compiler is not yet written, + but as a side effect of the required compatibility, the implementation seems + accepting the output of the Sun's 1.3 idlj.</p> + + @author Audrius Meskauskas, Lithuania (AudriusA@Bioinformatics.org) +</body> +</html> + |
