Publisher's Synopsis
The complete solution for Windows/UNIX/MVS/Web integration! Authors are among the worlds leading experts in COM-CORBA integration and were co-authors of the OMG COM/CORBA interworking specification Practical, real-world explanations of both COM/DCOM and CORBA Perfect for both experienced and new developers of distributed software Integrate Microsofts COM/DCOM and CORBA distributed objects-step by step! To make distributed objects work in a heterogeneous environment, developers must bridge the gap between Microsofts Common Object Model (COM) and the industry Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) standard. COM-CORBA Interoperability is the first complete, up-to-date guide to linking COM/DCOM and CORBA. Youll start with easy-to-understand explanations of COM and CORBA that explode the myth of complexity that surrounds distributed object technology. Next, COM-CORBA Interoperability presents step-by-step coverage of how to build a working, scalable, and transparent COM/CORBA system that integrates Windows and the worlds most popular platforms. As developers who built the industrys no.1;COM-CORBA integration software, the authors are among the worlds top experts in the field. With COM-CORBA Interoperability, you can leverage their expertise to build the distributed, Web-based, enterprise-wide applications todays leading-edge companies are clamoring for! CD-ROM Included The accompanying CD-ROM contains full source code for a working application that is referenced throughout the book, code for all examples, plus evaluation copies of Orbix for C++, Orbix COM and OrbixWEB 3.0, the industrys leading COM/CORBA integration products. With OrbixWEB, you can develop fully-functional CORBA Server applications for deployment anywhere on the Internet. And with Orbix COMet, you can develop CORBA client-side software using VB, PowerBuilder, Microsoft ASPs, or any COM or OLE Automation-aware environment!
