25Introduction
- Developing distributed applications whose
components collaborate efficiently, reliabley,
transparently, and scalably is hard. - To help address this challenge, the Object
Management Group(OMG) is specifying the CORBA - OMG is a consortium of 700 more strong computer
compaines and universities. - Netscape, Sun, HP, DEC, Mircrosoft, IBM,
Visigenic, IONA, etc.
26History of OMG CORBA

28Source of Complexity
- Distributed application development exhibits both
inherent and accidental complexity - Inherent Complexity results from fundamental
Challenges in the distributed application domain,
e.g., - Addressing the impact of latency
- Detecting and recovering from partial failures of
networks and hosts - Load balancing and service partitioning
- Consistent ordering of distributed events
29Source of Complexity
- Accidental complexity results from limitations
with tools and techniques used to develop
distributed applications. - Lack of type-safe, portable, re-entrant, and
extensible system call interfaces and
component libraries - Inadequate debugging support
- Widespread use of algorithmic decomposition
- Fine for explaining network programming
concepts and algorithms but inadequate for
developing large-scale distributed applications - Continuous rediscovery and reinvention of core
concepts and components
30Motivation for CORBA
- Simplifies application interworking
- CORBA provides higher level integration than
traditional "untyped TCP byte streams " - Provides a foundation for higher-level
distributed object collaboration - e.g., Windows OLE and the OMG Common Object
Service Specification(COSS) - Benefits for distributed programming
similar to OO languages for
non-distributed programming - e.g., encapsulation, interface inheritance, and
object-based exception handling
31CORBA Contributions
- CORBA addresses two challenges of developing
distributed system - Making distributed application development no
more difficult than developing centralized
programs. - Easier said than done due to
- Partial failures
- Impact of latency
- Load balancing
- Event Ordering
- Providing an infrastructure to integrate
application components into a distributed system - i.e., CORBA is an "enabling technology"
32CORBA Bank Example (Old Version)
- Ideally, to use a distributed service, we'd like
it to look much like a non-distributed service - public static void main(String args)
-
- Bank.AccountManager manager Bank.AccountManager_
var.bind(My Bank") - Bank.Account account manager.open(name)
- float balance account.balance()
- System.out.println ("The balance in " name
"'s account is " balance)
33CORBA Bank Interface
- We need to write an OMG IDL. Interface for our
Bank object - This interface is used by both clients and
servers - // Bank.idl
- module Bank
- interface Account
- float balance()
-
- interface AccountManager
- Account open(in string name)
-
34CORBA is Software Bus
- CORBA provides a communication infrastructure for
a heterogeneous, distributed collection of
collaborating objects.
35Related Works
- Related technologies for application integration
include - Traditional RPC
- Provides "procedural" integration of application
serveices - Doesn't provide object abstractions
- Does not address inheritance of interfaces
- Widows OLE/COM
- Traditionally limited to desktop application
36CORBA Components
- The CORBA specification is comprised of several
parts - 1. An Object Request Broker (ORB)
- 2. Basic Object Adapter (BOA), Portable Object
Adapter(POA) - 3. An Interface Definition Language (IDL)
- 4. A Static Invocation Interface (SII)
- 5. A Dynamic Invocation Interface (DII)
- 6. A Dynamic Skeleton Interface(DSI)
- 7. Interface and implementation repositories
- 8. Programming language mappings
- 9. An Interoperability Spec(GIOP and IIOP)
- Other documents form OMG descirbe common object
services built upon CORBAservices - e.g. , Event services, Name services, Lifecycle
service
37CORBA Architecture
38CORBA Architecture
- The ORB is the foundation of all other CORBA
services and facilities
39Object Request Broker
- The Object Request Broker(ORB) is the central
component in CORBA - An ORB provides mechanisms for invoking methods
on local/remote objects - ORB mechanisms automate
- Object location, creation, activation and object
management - Message exchange between objects
- CORBA ORB provides security also.
40Interface Definition Language (IDL)
- Developing flexible distributed applications
on heterogeneous platforms requires a strict
separation of interface from implementation(s) - Benefits of using an IDL
- Ensure platform independence
- e.g., Windows NT to UNIX
- Enforce modularity
- e.g., must separate concerns
- Increase robustness
- e.g., reduce opportunities for network
programming errors - Enable language independence
- e.g., C, Smalltalk, COBOL to C, Java
41CORBA IDL
- OMG IDL is an object-oriented interface
definition language - Used to specify interfaces containing operations
and attributes - OMG IDL support interface inheritance (both
single and multiple inheritance) - OMG IDL is designed to map onto multiple
programming languages - e.g., C, C, Smalltalk, COBOL, Modula 3, DCE,
Java, etc. - OMG IDL is similar to Java interfaces, class and
C class
42OMG IDL Compiler
- A OMG IDL compiler generates client stubs and
server skeletons - Stubs and skeletons automate the following
activities (in conjunction with the ORB) - Client proxy factories
- Prameter marshalling/demarshalling
- Implementation class interface generation
- Object registration and activation
- Object location and binding
43Producing IDL file, Client, and Object
Implementation
44Application Interfaces
- Interfaces described using OMG IDL may be
application-specific, e.g., - Databases
- Spreadsheets
- Spell checker
- Network manager
- Air traffic control
- Documents
- Medical imaging systems
- Objects may be defined at any level of
granularity - e.g., from fine-grained GUI objects to multi-mega
byte multimedia "Blobs"
45OMG IDL Features
- OMG IDL is a superset of C, Java, etc.
- Note, it is not a complete programming language,
it only defines interfaces - OMG IDL supports the following features
- Modules
- Interfaces
- Operations
- Attributes
- Inheritance
- Basic types(e.g., double, long, char, etc).
- Arrays
- Sequence
- Struct, enum, union, typedef
- Consts
- Exceptions
46Static Invocation Interface(SII)
- The most common way of using OMG IDL involves
the "Static Invocation Interface" (SII) - In this case, all the methods are specified in
advance and are know to the client and the
server via proxies - proxies are also known as surrogates
- The primary advantage of the SII is its
simplicity, typesafety, and efficiency
47Dynamic Invocation Interface (DII)
- A less common way of using OMG IDL involves the
"Dynamic Invocation Interface" (DII) - The DII enables objects and their methods to be
specified and called at run-time - Uses meta-data stored in an "Interface
Repository" - The DII is more flexible than the SII apporach,
e.g., - It supports tools tools like a MIB browser that
may not know all their components or operations
at compile-time - It also enables the use of deferred synchronous
invocation - The DII is also more complicated and less
typesafe and efficient.
48Dynamic Skeleton Interface (DSI)
- The "Dynamic Skeleton Interface" (DSI) provides
analogous functionality for the server-side that
the DII provides on the client-side - It is defined in CORBA 2.0 primarily for using
building ORB "Bridges" - The DSI lets server code handle arbitrary
invocations on CORBA objects
49Object References
- An "Object reference" is an opaque handle to an
object - Object references amy be passed among processes
on separate hosts - The underlying CORBA ORB will correctly convert
object references into a form that can be
transmitted over the network - Presumably by converting it to a "stringfied"
reference - The ORB passes the receiver's implementation a
pointer to a proxy in its own address space - This proxy refers to the object's implementation
- Object references are a powerful feature of CORBA
- e.g., supports "peer-to-peer" interactions
50Object Adaptor
- CORBA "object adaptors" provide services for
binding object references to their associated
object implementations - Several types of object adaptors are available
- Basic Object Adaptor(BOA)
- Objects and object references are known to the
ORB - Thus, an object implementation has to explicitly
register objects to be activated - Object-Oriented Database Adaptor(OODA)
- This adapter uses a connection to an o-o db to
access the objects stored in it. - Since the OODB provides the emthods and
persistent storage, object may be registerd
implicitly.
51Object Adaptor
- Creation and Analysis of Object Reference
- Method Invocation
- Interaction
- Activation and Deactivation of Object and
Implementation - Matching to Object Implementation According to
Object Reference - Registration of Object
- Problem of BOA
- Inconsistency of Specification
- Difference of BOA Implementation
- Problem in Server Portability
52Portable Object Adaptor
- Allow the Persistent Object
- Allow more Object Implementation
-
- Characteristics
- Map an Object Reference to the Servant that
Implements that object - Allow Transparent Activation of Objects
- Associate Policy Information With Objects
- Make a CORBA object persistent over several
server process lifetimes - Object ID Namespace
- Policy of Multi-Threading, Security, Object
Management - Multi POA with different policy and name space
exist in a server
53EXAMPLE
- Bank Example
- Bank server maintains the user's account
- Clients can request to open his account and to
ask his balance via CORBA interfaces and CORBA
run-time - Since the server(s) and the clients are
distributed, the solution must work across LAN
and WAN environments
54Initial OMG IDL Bank Specification
- // Bank.idl
- module Bank
- interface Account
- float balance()
-
- interface AccountManager
- Account open(in string name)
-
55Compiling the Interface Definition
- Running the Bank module definition through the
IDL compiler generates client stubs and server
skeletons - The client stub acts as a proxy and handles
object binding and parameter marshalling from
requestor - The server skeleton handles object registration,
activation, and parameter demarshalling from
target - CORBA allows two ways to associate an object
implementation to a generated IDL skeleton - 1. BOAImpl -gt uses the Class form of the Adapter
pattern(inheritance) - 2. TIE -gt uses the Object form of the Adapter
pattern (object composition)
56Object Activation, invocation by the BOA
57Main Server Program
- Developer Can Register or Activate the Objects on
Server according to Policy - // Server.java
- import org.omg.PortableServer.

nitial_references("RootPOA")) - // Create policies for our persistent POA
- org.omg.CORBA.Policy policies
- rootPOA.create_lifespan_policy(LifespanPolicyValue
.PERSISTENT) -
58Main Server Program (Continued)
- // Create myPOA with the right policies
- POA myPOA rootPOA.create_POA(
"bank_agent_poa", rootPOA.the_POAManager(),

- // Activate the servant with the ID on myPOA
- myPOA.activate_object_with_id(managerId,
managerServant) - // Activate the POA manager
- rootPOA.the_POAManager().activate()
- System.out.println(myPOA.servant_to_referenc
e(managerServant) "
is ready.") - // Wait for incoming requests
- orb.run()
- catch (Exception e)
e.printStackTrace() -
-
59A Client Program

- // Locate an account manager. Give the full
POA name and the servant ID. - Bank.AccountManager manager
- Bank.AccountManagerHelper.bind(orb,
"/bank_agent_poa", managerId) - // use args0 as the account name, or a
default. - String name args.length gt 0 ? args0
"Jack B. Quick" - // Request the account manager to open a
named account. - Bank.Account account manager.open(name)
- // Get the balance of the account.
- float balance account.balance()
- // Print out the balance.
- System.out.println
- ("The balance in " name "'s account is

- import org.omg.PortableServer.
- import java.util.
- public class AccountManagerImpl extends
Bank.AccountManagerPOA - public synchronized Bank.Account open(String
name) - // Lookup the account in the account
dictionary. - Bank.Account account (Bank.Account)
_accounts.get(name) - // If there was no account in the dictionary,
create one. - if(account null)
- // Make up the account's balance, between 0
and 1000 dollars. - float balance Math.abs(_random.nextInt())
100000 / 100f - // Create the account implementation, given
the balance. - AccountImpl accountServant new
AccountImpl(balance) -
61Implementing the Object
- try
- // Activate it on the default POA which
is root POA for this servant - account Bank.AccountHelper.narrow(_defau
lt_POA().servant_to_reference(accountServant)) - catch (Exception e)
- e.printStackTrace()
-
- // Print out the new account.
- System.out.println("Created " name "'s
account " account) - // Save the account in the account
dictionary. - _accounts.put(name, account)
-

- private Random _random new Random()
-
62Run Example
- Activate OSAGENT
- Server Side
- ltpromptgt java Server
- Server Activation
- Client Side
- ltpromptgt java Client Account Name
- Client can receive the response from Server
63OMG IDL Mapping Rules
- The CORBA specification defines mappings from
CORBA IDL to various programming language - e.g., C, C, Java, Smalltalk
- Mapping OMG IDL to Java
- Each module is mapped to package
- Each interface within a module is mapped to
abstract class or fully implemented class - Each operation is mapped to a Java method with
appropriate parameters - Each read/write attribute is mapped to a pair of
get/set methods - A read-only attribute is only mapped to a single
get method
64Binding a Client to a Target Object
- Three typical steps
- 1. A CORBA client (requestor) obtains an "object
reference" from a server - e.g., May use a naming service or a locator
service - 2. This object reference serves as a local proxy
for the remote target object - 3. The client may then invoke methods on its
proxy - Recall that object references may be passed as
parameters to other remote objects
65Experiences with Java ORBs
- ORB Interoperability
- Visigenics Black Widow(now, VisiBroker) supports
the CORBA 2.0 IIOP - DSTC provide a permanent ORB Interoperability
showcase - Java language binding for CORBA
- Development time can be significantly reduced
when using Java instead of C - Portability
- Java ORB profit from Java portability
- Performance
- Now, Java ORBs do not perform very well(about 20
times longer) - But, faster compiler (e.g., Just-in Time
Compiler) will solve it - Applet clients vs. CGI based clients
- Middleware advantages
- automatic generation of stub code
- separating interfaces from implementations
- automatic type checking
66Internet Inter-ORB Protocol(IIOP)
- Interoperability Via ORB-to-ORB
- ORB Interoperability Architecture
- Example of CORBA 2.0 Interoperability
- Interoperable Object Reference
- General Inter-ORB Protocol(GIOP)
- Internet Inter-ORB Protocol (IIOP)
67Interoperability Via ORB-to-ORB
- All of the clients connected to ORB 1 can access
object implementations in both ORB 1 and ORB 2 - The same condition holds for clients connected to
ORB 2 - This architecture scales to any number of
connected ORBs
68Interoperability via ORB-to-ORB
69ORB Interoperability Architecture
- Immediate bridging
- two domains talk directly to each other over a
single bridge that translate whatever parts of
the message require it. - fast and efficient but inflexible and require a
lot of bridges - Mediated bridging
- All domains bridge to a single common protocol
- common protocol is IIOP
- the number of bridge types only grows as fast as
the number of different domains. - this conforms to the backbone configuration of
most large, multiprotocol networks mediated
bridging configures naturally in these networks.
70Example of CORBA 2.0 Interoperability
71Interoperable Object Reference (IOR)
- Specialized Object Reference
- Be used by an application in the exact same way
that an object reference is used - allows an application to make remote method calls
on a CORBA object - An application which obtain IOR, it can access
the remote CORBA object via IIOP - The application constructs a GIOP message and
sends it - The IOR contains all the information needed to
route the message directly to the appropriate
server
72General Inter-ORB Protocol (GIOP)
- Goal
- Widest possibility, availability, Simplicity,
Scalability, Lowcost, Generality, Architectural
neutrality - GIOP consists of three specification
- The Common Data Representation (CDR) definition
- Trasnfer syntax, mapping from data types defined
in OMG IDL to a bicanonica, low-level
representation for transfer between agents. - SPEC takes into account byte ordering and
alignment
73General Inter-ORB Protocol (Continued)
- GIOP message formats
- carry requests, locate object implementations,
and manage communication channels. - Message Header
- include magic number, version number, byte
order, message type, message size - Seven Messages
- Be sent by the client Request, CancelRequest,
LocateRequest - Be sent by Server Reply, LocateReply,
CloseConnection - Both may send MessageError
74General Inter-ORB Protocol (Continued)
- GIOP transport requirements
- a connection-oriented protocol
- reliable delivery (byte order must be preserved,
and acknowledgment of delivery must be available) - participants must be notified of disorderly
connection loss - the model of initiating a connection must meet
certain requirements
75Internet Inter-ORB Protocol (IIOP)
- The mapping of the GIOP message transfer to
TCP/IP connections is called IIOP - GIOP can map to Novell IPX and OSI also
- TCP/IP Connection Usage
- Servers must listen for connection requests.
- A client needing a objects services must
initiate a connection with the address specified
in the IOR, with a connection request - The listening server may accept or reject the
connection. - Once a connection is accepted, the client may
send Request, LocateRequest, or CancelRequest
messages by writing to the TCP/IP socket it owns
for the connection.
