	CORBA FAQ
		CORBA is the acronym for Common Object Request Broker Architecture, OMG's open, vendor-independent architecture and infrastructure that computer applications use to work together over networks.
		Because of the easy way that CORBA integrates machines from so many vendors, with sizes ranging from mainframes through minis and desktops to hand-helds and embedded systems, it is the middleware of choice for large (and even not-so-large) enterprises.
		CORBA applications are composed of objects, individual units of running software that combine functionality and data, and that frequently (but not always) represent something in the real world.

	Encyclopedia: CORBA
		CORBA was developed by an industry consortium known as the Object Management Group (OMG).
		CORBA 1.1 was introduced in 1991 by Object Management Group (OMG) and defined the Interface Definition Language (IDL) and the Application Programming Interfaces (API) that enable client/server object interaction within a specific implementation of an Object Request Broker (ORB).
		CORBA automates many common network programming tasks such as object registration, location, and activation; request demultiplexing; framing and error-handling; parameter marshalling and demarshalling; and operation dispatching.

	Encyclopedia article: CORBA (Site not responding. Last check: )
		In this sense, CORBA can be considered as a machine-readable (additional info and facts about machine-readable) documentation format, similar to a header file (additional info and facts about header file) but with considerably more information.
		CORBA uses an interface definition language (additional info and facts about interface definition language) (IDL) to specify the interfaces that objects will present to the world.
		CORBA then specifies a "mapping" from IDL to a specific implementation language like C++ (additional info and facts about C++) or Java (An island in Indonesia south of Borneo; one of the world's most densely populated regions).

		If the object Servant (CORBA) exists on the same server where the method is invoked, they also mediate the local calls.

	Common Object Request Broker Architecture
		The CORBA specification was developed by the Object Management Group (OMG), an industry group with over six hundred member companies representing computer manufacturers, independent software vendors, and a variety of government and academic organizations [OMG 96].
		CORBA is a complex specification, and considerable effort may be required to develop expertise in its use.
		While CORBA makes the development of distributed applications easier than with previous technologies, this ease of use may be deceptive: The difficult issues involved in designing robust distributed systems still remain (e.g., performance prediction and analysis, failure mode analysis, consistency and caching, and security).

	CORBA, Part I \| Linux Journal (Site not responding. Last check: )
		CORBA (Common Object Request Broker Architecture) is a specification for an architecture that provides support for invoking methods in objects that may exist in a different process.
		It is the responsibility of a component of the CORBA architecture known as the ORB (Object Request Broker) to ensure that the request is delivered to the correct object.
		CORBA is a mature solution to the issues encountered when creating robust and distributed platform- and language-neutral systems, and as such it has a lot of what you call overhead (e.g.

	ZeroC - Ice vs. CORBA
		CORBA specifications, on the other hand, are full of "fantasy material", pushed into specs by vested interests, without really making sure that the specifications can actually be implemented.
		Often, the only way to reach agreement during the submission process for a CORBA specification is to take the grand union of the feature sets of all the pre-existing proprietary implementations and to somehow shoe-horn them into a standard.
		CORBA has a specification for a typed event service, but there are few (if any) implementations.

		There is a rich selection of implementations of CORBA for Linux, including one that is focused on real-time operation, two more on fault-tolerance, and another two aimed at embedded systems.
		A thorough, scientific investigation of CORBA performance is being performed by D. Schmidt.
		What many (most) CORBA implementations do in the face of this compiler limitation is to map CORBA modules to C++ classes (instead of C++ namespaces, as they should have).

	Common Object Request Broker Architecture by Gopalan Suresh Raj
		CORBA defines a model that specifies interoperability between distributed objects on a network in a way that is transparent to the programmer.
		CORBA automatically handles a lot of network programming tasks such as object registration, object location, object activation, request demultiplexing, frame and error-handling, marshalling and operation dispatching.
		CORBA objects are accessed through the use of an interface.

		A CORBA object is defined using the CORBA IDL progamming language.
		Another nice feature of the CORBA concept is that you don't need to use the object with the same programming language as the one the object is implemented in.
		A CORBA interface is the public part of the class - the part of the class you can interface with.

	A quick and dirty CORBA overview (Site not responding. Last check: )
		An interface definition must specify the operation to be performed, and all of the input and output parameters with their types, allowing client and server to encode and decode values for their travel over the network.
		Experienced CORBA programmers use structs, sequences, attributes, valuetypes, and other IDL types and constructs to create very flexible data structures for their interfaces.
		In CORBA, the Object Request Broker or ORB takes care of all of the details involved in routing a request from client to object, and routing the response to its destination.

	CORBA
		For example, CORBA is a profile that defines an interface syntax IDL for expressing the object model, language mappings to and from that syntax, and an inter-ORB protocol.
		CORBA architecture figure p 40: clients use IDL stubs (implicitly), DII, and the ORB interface (e.g., to locate services); object implementations use the Orb interface, IDL skeletons (implicitly), DSI, and object adapters (to map object refrences to servants).
		CORBA uses IDL to define a number of interfaces that specify functionality provided by the ORB so that there is an unambiguous language-independent specification of the operations and their parameter types, return types, and exceptions.

	A Brief Tutorial on CORBA (Site not responding. Last check: )
		CORBA specifies a system which provides interoperability between objects in a heterogeneous, distributed environment and in a way transparent to the programmer.
		This is why CORBA 2.0 introduces the higher-level concept of a domain, which roughly denotes a set of objects which for some reason, be it implementational or administrative, are separated from some all other objects.
		There are many implementations of CORBA currently available; they vary in the degree of CORBA compliance, quality of support, portability and availability of additional features.
