CORBA

Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) is a standard from the Object Management Grout (OMG). CORBA uses the Object Request Broker (ORB) to communicate. The following categories of objects are recognized:

• Applications
• Domains
• Facilities
• Services

Networking components must be in one of these categories.

CORBA allows these tasks to be automated:

• Object registration
• Object location
• Object activation
• Request demultiplexing
• Error handling
• Data framing
• Parameter marshaling
• Operation dispatching
