The authors treat CORBA as the ideal, looking at its powerful Interface Definition Language (IDL), CORBA 2, which lets software developers model objects and interfaces independent of programming languages. (CORBA 2 also works with C/C++, Java, and Smalltalk; the details are discussed early in the book.) Of course, CORBA is not just a way to specify interfaces and the authors look closely at the specification for CORBAservices, a object brokering architecture model that is, at least in theory, a lot richer than DCOM. The authors also explore CORBAdomains, which allow certain interfaces for business objects within particular industries (such as banking and health care) to be built and reused. The authors also investigate CORBAfacilities, which allow applications to share documents.
The latter part of this book looks at the software engineering process and discusses how analysts can adopt CORBA to solve system architecture problems--mainly by retooling old systems and making them work together. This section is a little vague and though it introduces a case study, it doesn't give much detail.
Inside CORBA is best for learning what CORBA is and why it is the most mature technology for distributed processing that we currently possess. Computer professionals who are considering building (or rebuilding) a distributed computing information system will appreciate this book.
Thomas Mowbray is Principal Scientist at the MITRE Corporation, founding chair of the OMG Common Facilities Task Force, and recipient of the first OMG Fellowship award. He is the author of two of the best selling CORBA books, The Essential CORBA (Wiley, 1995) and CORBA Design Patterns (Wiley, 1997), and he teaches CORBA system architecture and development worldwide.
William Ruh is the Executive Vice President and Chief Technology Officer at Concept Five Technologies, where he helps companies rapidly develop secure electronic commerce and business applications by applying distributed object and messaging technologies. He is also the co-author of Inside CORBA (Addison-Wesley, 1997).
