Abstract
Services within the DISCWorld system can be represented by objects.
These services may be distributed on nodes of a heterogeneous system
with communication between clients and these services and between the
services themselves provided by a suitable middleware system. As well
as managing communication, a middleware system has to provide for
locating and activating services, gathering performance data and
security. We describe how the CORBA 2.0 specification, developed by
the OMG, and CORBAServices can be used as a basis for a middleware
system to manage DISCWorld Services. We also describe how Java and
Java RMI can be used in combination with CORBA and what benefits
this brings. We discuss some of the problems with the mapping of the
CORBA interface definition language, IDL, to Java.
