Résumé

Here is the CORBA book that every C++ software engineer has been waiting for. It provides the necessary tools to understand CORBA technology at the architectural, design, and source code levels. The authors provide hands-on explanations for building applications, and use clear and useful examples to give practical advice on avoiding mistakes. The material is organized so it can be used as both a tutorial and a reference. With this book at your side, you have all the advice you will need for industrial-strength development projects.

The authors provide detailed coverage of the Interface Definition Language (IDL) and go beyond the mechanics of the language by discussing topics such as common IDL idioms, potential pitfalls, and interface design trade-offs. They provide in-depth explanations of the IDL-to-C++ mapping, and offer many source code examples to richly illustrate the do's and don'ts of using CORBA with C++. Particular attention is paid to memory management, parameter passing rules, variable-length types, and writing code that is clear, maintainable, portable, and efficient.

The book presents the new Portable Object Adapter (POA) in detail, and shows how designers can use the POA to create scalable and efficient applications. Chapters on IIOP and implementation repositories provide invaluable background on what happens beneath the covers of an ORB. A section on the dynamic aspects of CORBA covers more advanced features, such as dynamic typing and the new DynAny interfaces.

In addition, the authors provide clear directions for writing servers that use threads to achieve maximum performance; include source code not specific to any particular vendor's ORB; and furnish detailed explanations of behind-the-scenes technology such as marshaling, connection management, and server activation.
