"This book...gives EAI architects and developers the opportunity to learn directly from the authority on distributed computing, EAI, and CORBA." -David S. Linthicum Chief Technology Officer, SAGA Software, Inc.

In this book a CORBA pioneer provides proven, cost-effective techniques for integrating enterprise applications (including legacy applications) into modern, multiplatform systems. He also offers valuable advice and guidance on how to build new CORBA-based applications using the latest features of CORBA 3 . With the help of numerous case studies and examples, he provides detailed solutions for specific integration problems along with step-by-step guidance on:
* Using CORBA as the infrastructure for EAI
* Architecture principles for integrating the Web and back-end systems
* CORBA Component Model for component-based development
* Relationship of CORBA components to DCOM, JavaBeans, and Enterprise JavaBeans
* Using the essential CORBA services
* Object wrapping techniques for integrating legacy applications into multi-platform systems
* Building secure, multiplatform Web applications
