The Corba Bank

Abstract

In many business sectors today, client/server systems have become the solutions architecture of choice. Client/server systems are an example of two-tiered model of distributed computing. Client/server systems deliver significant advantages in system design over traditional mainframe development. Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) is an industry wide standard for creating distributed systems. It is a system that is accessible from many different languages and allows interoperability on various platforms. COREA, in many ways, is the next step in client/server computing utilizing a multitiered, distributed system architecture. The Object Request Broker (ORB) is significantly different from two-tiered client/server paradigm. Client/server systems typically only pass data back and forth between server and client. An ORB system can pass functionality from client to client and server to server via objects. The CORBA Bank is an implementation Common Object Request Broker Architecture technology. It creates user accounts and maintains it through a "SERVER" and " ACCOUNT MANAGER" keeping the information in temporary area, which one can use for that particular session.
