CORBA

CORBA ( c ommon o bject r equest b roker a rchitecture) is a standard for performing remote procedure calls. The standard is handled by the OMG ( o bject m anagement g roup). CORBA has been implemented on several different platforms and the Java SE ( s econd e dition) classpath includes support for writing a CORBA server/client.

An example for a lightweight-implementation of corba is the dcop ( d istributed c omponent o bject p rotocol) model of KDE.
