Client/Server Programming with Java and CORBA Book

The standard by which all other CORBA books are judged, Client/Server Programming with Java and CORBA is the book to read if you're thinking about doing anything with this language- bridging technology. Working toward the Object Web, a computing phenomenon in which the Internet is full of code modules that users can assemble in many different ways to suit their needs, Orfali and Harkey explain the Common Object Request Brokerage Architecture (CORBA), which goes a long way toward realizing that goal. This book is the single best CORBA resource available anywhere. Appropriately enough, the book opens with a comparison of the client/server architectures of Java and CORBA. It then goes on to cover dynamic invocations of CORBA objects. There's a discussion of the trade-offs involved in choosing among sockets, HTTP/CGI, remote method invocation (RMI), and CORBA/IIOP, complete with a table that compares the features of all the competitors. The authors then explore the relative advantages and disadvantages of two- and three-tier database query systems under JDBC. The book concludes with a fully implemented client/server transaction-handling system. The authors' prose and code is lucid and complete, and all of the numerous code samples appear on the companion CD-ROM.Read More

    CORBA and JavaBeans are merging in cyberspace. Here's your completely updated guide to navigating this previously uncharted territory.

    Whether you're a seasoned Java programmer, a distributed objects expert, or looking to be a little of both, this Second Edition of the enormously popular Client/Server

    Programming with Java and CORBA gives you the programming know-how you need to combine these two technologies into workable client/server solutions for the Object Web.

    Full of working code, tutorials, and design trade-offs, this one-of-a-kind book:
    * Includes over 250 new pages on JavaBeans, CORBA Beans, and Enterprise JavaBeans. Shows you how to invoke CORBA objects from JavaBeans tools such as Visual Cafe, JBuilder, and Visual Age for Java
    * Covers everything from simple ORB programming to exciting new areas such as CORBA 3.0's POA, Object Pass-by-Value, IDL-to-Java, and RMI-to-IIOP
    * Uses tutorials and client/server benchmarks to compare CORBA and its competitors including Java/RMI, Java/DCOM, Sockets, HTTP/CGI, and Servlets
    * Covers in detail Netscape's ORB: VisiBroker for Java 3.X; it shows you how to use Caffeine to write CORBA/Java applications without IDL
    * Provides a Debit-Credit benchmark for JDBC databases to compare 2-tier vs. 3-tier client/server solutions
    * Provides a JavaBeans version of Club Med-a Web-based, 3-tier client/server application that uses CORBA, Java, and JDBC
    * Shows how to use CORBA's dynamic facilities such as callbacks, dynamic invocations, object introspection, and the interface repository
    * Comes with a CD-ROM containing over 16 Java-based client/server applications (and other goodies).

    They have written numerous bestselling books including Instant CORBA,The Essential Client/Server Survival Guide, Second Edition, and The Distributed Objects Survival Guide. The two Survival Guides both won the prestigious Software Development/Jolt Award for best computer books.
