Java and CORBA: The past, present, and future of Java distributed object computing

By George Scott

Java and CORBA are two fairly new technologies which will have a big impact on server-side computing in the coming years. Java with its cross-platform capabilities combined with its ease of development, is an ideal platform for writing server-side components. While CORBA provides the much needed communication infrastructure to provide secure and transactional communications as well as connectivity to non-Java environments which continue to be the core of most enterprise businesses. This talk explores the past, present, and the future of the marriage between these two technologies, by providing a brief history of where we've been, a detailed look at how the technology works today, and a glimpse of where the technology is taking us in the future.
