Combining the versatility of Java with the interoperability of CORBA, Java IDL (Interface Definition Language) lets you build object-oriented systems that freely interact over the Internet or intranets, regardless of ORB or programming language. Now Programming with Java IDL offers Java developers a quick, easy way to fully master this important new Web development tool. With this valuable guide, developers learn Java IDL programming by actually building powerful applications using distributed objects. Experts Geoffrey Lewis, Steven Barber, and Ellen Siegel first bring you up to speed on CORBA, Java, and Java IDL basics. They provide you with step-by-step instructions and source code (also available at the companion Web site) to build three full-fledged distributed systems of increasing complexity. Then, combining valuable insider tips with business system programming savvy, they show you how to quickly modify the code to build your own powerful custom applications. A hands-on guide to harnessing the power of Java and CORBA to create super-versatile business applications, Programming with Java IDL is an indispensable working resource for Java developers.
