Advanced CORBA® Programming with C++
Addison Wesley (Verlag)
978-0-201-37927-3 (ISBN)
This book provides designers and developers the tools required to understand CORBA technology at the architectural, design, and code levels.This book offers hands-on explanations for building efficient applications, as well as lucid examples that provide practical advice on avoiding costly mistakes. With this book as a guide, programmers will find the support they need to successfully undertake CORBA development projects. The content is systematically arranged and presented so the book may be used as both a tutorial and a reference. The rich example programs in this definitive text show CORBA developers how to write clearer code that is more maintainable, portable, and efficient. The authors' detailed coverage of the IDL-to-C++ mapping moves beyond the mechanics of the APIs to discuss topics such aspotential pitfalls and efficiency. An in-depth presentation of the new Portable Object Adapter (POA) explains how to take advantage of its numerous features to create scalable and high-performance servers. In addition, detailed discussion of advanced topics, such as garbage collection and multithreading, provides developers with the knowledge they need to write commercial applications.
Michi Henning is Chief Scientist of ZeroC, Inc, where he is responsible for research and development of next-generation middleware technologies. Michi has spent many years on CORBA-related research, as well as CORBA consulting and training for international customers. He has contributed to numerous OMG specifications, was a member of the OMG Architecture Board, and was chair of the OMG's C++ Revision Task Force. Steve Vinoski is Chief Engineer of Product Innovation for IONA Technologies, PLC. He has coauthored several important OMG specifications, including the OMG IDL C++ Language Mapping specification, and he previously served as the chair of the OMG C++ Revision Task Force. Steve is also the author of the "Toward Integration" middleware column in IEEE Internet Computing, and coauthor of the "Object Interconnections" column in the C/C++ Users Journal. He frequently presents at middleware conferences around the globe. 0201379279AB11072003
