The only book you need for programming VisiBroker using Java The most widely used commercial implementation of the CORBA standard, Inprise's VisiBroker, is used by hundreds of thousands of developers worldwide. Written by a team of Inprise insiders, this updated and expanded Second Edition of the #1 guide to programming VisiBroker helps Java developers quickly master the skills they need to develop more powerful and sophisticated distributed, object-oriented, client/server systems, from scratch or with existing components using VisiBroker 4. New topics covered in this edition include migrating VisiBroker 3 to version 4; the Portable Object Adaptor; implementing the Objects by Value feature; the VisiBroker Interface Repository; Dynamic Programming APIs for use with scripting; and more. CD-ROM contains VisiBroker for Java 4, VisiBroker Naming and Event Services, and complete code for all examples in the book.

The authoritative Java developer's guide to designing better distributed object systems and implementing them faster-using VisiBroker Coauthored by the lead architect for the VisiBroker Java ORB, this is the authoritative guide to programming with VisiBroker for Java. Designed to help Java developers quickly master the skills they need to develop more powerful and sophisticated distributed, object-oriented, client/server systems from scratch or by combining existing components, it covers all the crucial bases in the life cycle of a VisiBroker implementation, including: * Analysis and design of distributed object systems * Basic and advanced VisiBroker for Java implementations * Performance considerations and fine-tuning * The approved OMG IDL to Java mapping * VisiBroker interfaces to legacy relational databases using JDBC. The dream of distributed, object-oriented, client/server systems that are both location- and language-transparent is at last a reality. In great part, this is due to the growing worldwide acceptance of CORBA as the architectural standard of choice. This book brings together the most popular implementation of the CORBA standard, VisiBroker, and Java, the most popular language for Internet programming. The CD-ROM contains: * VisiBroker for Java 3.1 * VisiBroker Naming and Event Services * Complete code for all the examples from the book.

Through the use of numbered steps, bulleted lists, detailed examples, summaries, and exercises, knowledgeable Java and CORBA programmers can get up to speed quickly and get the job done. The CD-ROM includes all code segments and examples, the Java Development Kit, and a 90-day trial version of VisiBroker for Java.

This new edition brings programmers up to speed on the significant changes to CORBA.

This book is a result of the ISD'99, Eight International Conference on Infonnation Systems Development-Methods and Tools, Theory, and Practice held August 11-13, 1999 in Boise, Idaho, USA. The purpose of this conference was to address the issues facing academia and industry when specifying, developing, managing, and improving infonnation systems. ISD'99 consisted not only of the technical program represented in these Proceedings, but also of plenary sessions on product support and content management systems for the Internet environment, workshop on a new paradigm for successful acquisition of infonnation systems, and a panel discussion on current pedagogical issues in systems analysis and design. The selection of papers for ISD'99 was carried out by the International Program Committee. Papers presented during the conference and printed in this volume have been selected from submissions after fonnal double-blind reviewing process and have been revised by their authors based on the recommendations of reviewers. Papers were judged according to their originality, relevance, and presentation quality. All papers were judged purely on their own merits, independently of other submissions. We would like to thank the authors of papers accepted for ISD'99 who all made gallant efforts to provide us with electronic copies of their manuscripts confonning to common guidelines. We thank them for thoughtfully responding to reviewers comments and carefully preparing their final contributions. We thank Daryl Jones, provost of Boise State University and William Lathen, dean, College of Business and Economics, for their support and encouragement.

This volume contains the proceedings from the workshops held in conjunction with the IEEE International Parallel and Distributed Processing Symposium, IPDPS 2000, on 1-5 May 2000 in Cancun, Mexico. The workshopsprovidea forum for bringing together researchers,practiti- ers, and designers from various backgrounds to discuss the state of the art in parallelism.Theyfocusondi erentaspectsofparallelism,fromruntimesystems to formal methods, from optics to irregular problems, from biology to networks of personal computers, from embedded systems to programming environments; the following workshops are represented in this volume: { Workshop on Personal Computer Based Networks of Workstations { Workshop on Advances in Parallel and Distributed Computational Models { Workshop on Par. and Dist.

"Java Programming with CORBA" - jetzt erscheint der Bestseller in der 3. aktualisierten und erweiterten Auflage. Anerkannte Experten zeigen anhand fortgeschrittener Techniken und Beispielen aus der Praxis, wie man einfache und komplexe Javaprogramme mit CORBA entwirft. Zunächst geben sie einen kurzen Überblick über CORBA, Java, Oject Request Brokers (ORBs) und EJB Komponenten und erläutern dann, wie man diese Technologien einsetzt, um komplette Java-Anwendungen zu entwickeln. Diese Neuauflage wurde um 50% neues Material erweitert, um den Neuerungen der kürzlich erschienenen 3. Version von CORBA Rechnung zu tragen. Topaktuelle Themen, wie z.B. Portabel Object Adaptor (POA), Remote Method Innovation (RMI) over IIOP und EJB werden ausführlich diskutiert. Mit einer Fülle detaillierter Codebeispiele. Der unverzichtbare Leitfaden für jeden Java-Entwickler und -Programmierer.
