CORBA (Common Object Request Broker Architecture)

• CORBA

  • Open standard designed to enable interoperation among programs in heterogeneous as well as homogeneous systems
  • Supports objects as parameters or return values in remote procedures during interprocess communication

• CORBA implementation

  • The process on the client passes the procedure call along with the required arguments to the client stub
  • The client stub marshals the parameters and sends the procedure call through its Object Request Broker (ORB), which communicates with the ORB on the server
  • CORBA provides programmers language independence with the Interface Definition Language (IDL), which allows them to strictly define the procedures that can be called on the object
