Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA)

Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA)

• CORBA is a set of standards proposed by the Object Management Group (OMG) for interoperability and portability of distributed object oriented applications.
• CORBA-compliant applications can communicate with each other regardless of location, implementation language, underlying operating system and hardware architecture.

• Composed of five major components:
  • Object Request Broker (ORB)
  • Interface Definition Language (IDL)
  • Interface Repository
  • Object Adapters
  • CORBA Services
  • An ORB is the middleware that mediates the interactions between client applications needing services and server applications capable of providing them. Using the services provided by the ORB a client object can transparently invoke a method on a server object, which can be on the same machine or across a network.
