CORBA Training : Introduction to CORBA

This 1-day module is designed to introduce students of various backgrounds to the Common Object Brokerage Request Architecture, or CORBA. The module begins with a short treatment of the origins and history of CORBA in the Object Management Group, and then the fundamentals of the Object Management Architecture – the infrastructure whose goals and requirements define CORBA – are covered. ORBs and Object Adapters are discussed, and one chapter is devoted entirely to Interface Definition Language: its role in the architecture, grammar, and design issues. A third chapter covers many of the most important CORBA Service specifications and prompts students to consider the architectural implications of each.

CORBA Training Prerequisites

Some software architecture, design or development experience is highly recommended, although there are no specific requisite skill sets. Lab coding is entirely in IDL itself, and no implementation programming is performed.

CORBA Training Course duration

1 Day

CORBA Training Objectives

After successfully completing this course, you will be able to:

Understand the Object Management Architecture and CORBA.
Understand the role of an Object Request Broker and the assistance of the Object Adapter.
Understand the role of Interface Definition Language in achieving interoperability between various components.
Design distributed systems using IDL.
Address important IDL design issues such as interface granularity and location control.
Understand the significance of CORBA Services and the implications of using or integrating various services into a distributed component design.

System Requirements

Any system supporting an IDL compiler. The JavaIDL compiler is recommended as lab instructions provide command lines for that tool, but any IDL compiler that can validate student's IDL files for proper grammar will suffice.
