Reader Reviews
Do you really want to do this? Learn how to use CORBA in Java? Think carefully about this initial step. Because the book does not really address well the rationale for doing so. It basically presupposes that it is useful to learn and proceeds to teach you. Ok, under the latter assumption, the book does a credible job. Explaining key ideas like the Interface Description Language (IDL), and the Object Resource Broker (ORB). There are code snippets in Java to show how to stitch all this together. But the basic problem with CORBA is never explained. Even before Java got used with it, CORBA was running into big implementation problems. The exchange of binary messages turns out to be a critically awkward feature. That makes cross platform coding and debugging very hard. And CORBA code tended to be monolithic. Have you heard all the fuss about Web Services? While these are still being investigated, a big reason for the interest is that they seem much easier than CORBA. They use XML text messages, that can give more modular code.
