5.0 out of 5 stars CORBA as an EAI-enabling technology, June 18, 2000

By 

Pethuru Raj Chelliah - See all my reviews

This review is from: Enterprise Application Integration with CORBA Component and Web-Based Solutions (Paperback)

This book gives a very good overview of Enterprise Application Integration(EAI) and about the methods and the techniques for approaching EAI successfully. The main thing is about the role of CORBA as an EAI-enabling technology and the domains where EAI needs. The later chapters explains the latest additions in the evolving CORBA technology apart from some precious real world examples towards its goal. It is a very useful book for those who are to use CORBA as a viable integrating technology.

old standard that never took off. I hope no one attempted to develop legacy app using this architecture. Not even conceptually viable. Maybe work in a controlled lab or a very small development effort. But once many people are involved, you would never get everyone to adhere to strict concept like this. I hope it dies a quick death.
