Common Object Request Broker Architecture
Control oriented
- Tools communicate via messages about actions, requests
- Messages to message server, not directly addressed to other tool
ORBs work like this:
- Client encodes request, finds target object ORB, delivers request
- Server activates target object
- Server decodes request into form target object understands
- Server invokes target object for request, encodes and delivers results
- Client decodes results
