With the rapid growth of the Internet, distributed Web-enabled applications
are becoming popular. One of the most commonly used architectures for
development of such applications is CORBA, which provides a platform,
location and an implementation-language-neutral architecture for the
development of distributed applications. In addition, the phenomenal interest
in component technology has led to the development of CORBA Beans. Such CORBA
components and objects will soon be available for use on the Web. When you
encounter such a CORBA object, you may wish to use its services by
dynamically discovering its properties (something similar to Introspect and
Reflection in Java). CORBA supports this.
What Is Dynamic Invocation?
CORBA allows you to discover an object's properties dynamically and use its
services by invoking the public methods on the object at runtime. This is ... (more)
The matrix is an indispensable tool for engineers and mathematicians.
Matrices are used in many engineering applications for solving linear
equations, differential equations of n-order, and so on.
Mathematicians have developed matrix arithmetic to help engineers in solving
their engineering problems. It is generally very easy to understand and
perform. However, due to the mere size of the computations involved, it's
prone to errors. Even at the school level, students want to use a calculator
to solve (or at least verify the results of) their school assignments on
matrices. Some o... (more)
In today's world of network computers our important documents are usually
widely dispersed on several computers in our networks. Over a period of time,
we forget their location and searching for these files on a huge network
turns out to be a frustrating experience. Such searches are typically not
only time-consuming, but also consume valuable and scarce network resources.
This article provides an elegant solution to this problem.
Here we'll present an application that simplifies the remote search operation
on the entire network using mobile agent technology. We'll take advantage ... (more)
In recent days, CORBA has fast become a standard for the development of
distributed applications. A CORBA application may consist of one or more
CORBA server objects and many clients who connect to these servers. A CORBA
server object makes itself available to the client by registering with the
CORBA Naming Service or a CORBA Trader Service. A client locates the desired
server object on the network by using this Naming or Trader service. Once the
server object is located, the client receives a reference to it. Using this
reference, the client can invoke methods on the server obje... (more)
