| 2. | Java and CORBA - A Smooth Blend | | | While there may still be a place for technologies such as RMI, CORBA represents a great threat, and offers great rewards for those Java developers that adopt it. www.javacoffeebreak.com |
| 3. | Object Caching in a CORBA Compliant System | | | This paper investigates performance issues for distributed object systems. Claims that object caching is a must for improved performance and scalability in distributed object systems. www.usenix.org |
| 4. | Help with Designing or Debugging CORBA Applications | | | This article explores how some useful extensions to an open-source protocol analyzer in order to allow the extraction of OMG IDL (interface definition language) defined data types from TCP/IP traffic (using GIOP/IIOP) have been added. www.linuxjournal.com |
| 5. | Local Invocation for CORBA | | | This article explains how to simulate the pass-by-value strategy in CORBA 2.2 using Java so that a client virtual machine can locally invoke methods implemented. www.onjava.com |
| 7. | Web Services: SOAP and CORBA | | | Compares CORBA and SOAP. Contains many interesting comments originally made in a thread on the comp.object.corba newsgroup. www.xs4all.nl |
| 8. | A Comparison of three CORBA Management Tools | | | Article by Bernd Widmer and Wolfgang Lugmayr evaluated three tools that focus on management of distributed applications based on the Orbix C++ CORBA implementation: Orbix Manager, Corba Assistant and Object/Observer and investigated the capabilities of these tools and identified the benefits and shortcomings of these according to criteria such as overhead, ease of instrumentation, management configuration capabilities and integration with standard management frameworks.

| 9. | XML Reflection for CORBA | | | Shows an alternative approach to supporting reflection in CORBA. The basic approach involves having each object returns its own metadata, rather than relying on an external service, such as the IFR. www.cuj.com |
