1) Hardcover Book Implementing Distributed Systems with Java and CORBA by Springer. Do you really want to do this? Learn how to use CORBA in Java? Think carefully about this initial step. Because the book does not really address well the rationale for doing so. It basically presupposes that it is useful to learn and proceeds to teach you.
Ok, under the latter assumption, the book does a credible job. Explaining key ideas like the Interface Description Language (IDL), and the Object Resource Broker (ORB). There are code snippets in Java to show how to stitch all this together.
But the basic problem with CORBA is never explained. Even before Java got used with it, CORBA was running into big implementation problems. The exchange of binary messages turns out to be a critically awkward feature. That makes cross platform coding and debugging very hard. And CORBA code tended to be monolithic. Have you heard all the fuss about Web Services? While these are still being investigated, a big reason for the interest is that they seem much easier than CORBA. They use XML text messages, that can give more modular code.¤ 2) Hardcover Book Implementing Distributed Systems with Java and CORBA by Springer. The book addresses readers that are interested in the design and development of distributed software systems relying on the Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA). CORBA is an industry standard that has considerably changed the way that modern information systems are developed. It enables the platform-independent and programming-language-independent implementation of distributed object-oriented systems and supports the migration of legacy systems into modern architectures as well. The book is intended in particular for students of computer science and management information systems in their graduate studies as well as for practitioners and professional software developers that are looking for fast access to CORBA technology and want to profit from meaningful code examples. ¤Page Updated: Robert N.
