Implementing Business Objects: CORBA interfaces for legacy systems

  • Conference paper
Business Object Design and Implementation

Abstract

In 1991, the OMG (Object Management Group) defined an architectural framework (OMA—Object Management Architecture) as a milestone in realizing the vision of distributed object-oriented computing. This paper describes an experiment designed to examine whether a OMA CORBA (Common Object Request Broker Architecture) implementation [OMG92, Mza95] can be successfully employed in the existing information technology environment of a bank. It provides an overview of both the benefits and the problems involved and an outlook on future technology developments in this area.
