Q

CORBA

A

Commn Object Request
Broker Architecture

An open object- oriented standard architecture developed by the Object Management Group (OMG). It provides interoperability among the vast array of software, platforms, and hardware in environments today. CORBA enables applications to communicate with one another no matter where the applications are located or who developed them.

Q

DCOM

A

Distributed Component Object Model

Supports the same model for component interaction, and also supports distributed interprocess communication (IPC).

DCOM enables applications to access objects that reside in different parts of a network.

So this is how the client/ server-based activities are carried out by COM-based operating systems and/ or applications.

Q

J2EE

A

Java Platform, Enterprise Edition

J2EE is an enterprise Java computing platform. This means it is a framework that is used to develop enterprise software written mainly in the Java programming language. It provides APIs for networking services, fault tolerance, security, and web services for large-scale, multi-tiered network applications.

OLE

A

Object Linking and Embedding

Provides a way for objects to be shared on a local personal computer and to use COM as their foundation.

OLE enables objects— such as graphics, clipart, and spreadsheets— to be embedded into documents. The capability for one program to call another program is called linking. The capability to place a piece of data inside a foreign program or document is called embedding.

Q

ORB

A

Object Request Broker

The ORB manages all communications between components and enables them to interact in a heterogeneous and distributed environment.

The ORB works independently of the platforms where the objects reside, which provides greater interoperability.
