Description: The Essential CORBA is the only book available that deals with the application of CORBA specifications to systems development. It provides in-depth coverage of what every systems developer needs to know in order to establish a CORBA-based framework for the development of workable, distributed, object-oriented applications. Written by experts in object-based systems, this valuable book clearly and precisely covers theory and principles of standard object-technology, including CORBA, systems architecture integration frameworks, and Object Management Group (OMG) standards; methods and techniques for establishing an effective CORBA-based framework; object-wrapping techniques, including examples of commonly encountered problems; strategies for software reuse and rapid application development; assessment methods for current systems in place, and the benefits to the organization of improved system integration; strategies for accommodating heterogeneous mixtures of platforms, legacy software, commercial software, and R&D prototypes; design concepts for any type of system - custom built, component based, or one that incorporates elements of both - that encourage nonreliance on commercial software vendors; questions of security in the context of systems integration; and product overviews for major CORBA object request brokers.
