Summary
Java and corba fit together. With Java, you have portability of code and platform independence. With CORBA you add location transparency and an enterprise level object model that allows us to interoperate with a multitude of existing languages and integrated or legacy systems.
One of the most important steps when designing your client applications and applets is how they should bootstrap into the CORBA system. With a good system design, you can make this bootstrapping phase straightforward and avoid any bottlenecks along the way. You need to consider how CORBA servers should distribute CORBA object references so that clients can easily and efficiently find them. Some of your decisions may be made at the relatively early IDL design phase, while others can be implemented as late as when you deploy your clients and servers.
BOOTSTRAPPING A CORBA APPLICATION
A CORBA application only needs to obtain one CORBA Object reference (otherwise known as an Interoperable Object Reference (IOR)) for it to be able to connect to and participate in a CORBA system. From then on, a CORBA client or server should be able to obtain new IORs through normal IDL invocations. Therefore, it is the mechanism by which a client or server obtains this initial object reference that can be vital for a CORBA system's overall accessibility and scalability. The most interoperable and scalable solution to locating CORBA objects is to use the CORBA Naming Service.
