TYPE- MOD/IMP
DESCRIPTION-
For Warp 4.x Server and Warp 4.0 client; Add a Common Object
Request Broker Architecture (CORBA 2.0) based Object Request
Broker (ORB) to the OS/2 sub-system. This would include all of
the major CORBA services such as IIOP and DIIOP and other such
CORBA initiatives as integration with Java Objects and ActiveX
objects. The current Implimentation of SOM could form part of
this strategy, although I would suggest not. Highly visible
marketing of this technology. IBM is already a "founding"
member of the OMG. The benifits of this would be - CORBA client
applications developed on all CORBA compliant platforms would
be useable on OS/2. A stronger positioning of OS/2 within the
global enterprise and intergalactic markets. An industrial
strength development platform using CORBAs existing industry
proven technology. IBM is targeting JAVA technology as being
the Universal Client. CORBA should be targeted as the Universal
Middleware. CORBA solutions already support TP models and have
the ability to work with existing IBM and Customer hardware and
database solutions such as DB2.
