CORBA, short for Common Object Request Broker Architecture, enables pieces of applications, called objects, to communicate with one another regardless of in what programming language they were written or on which operating system they're running. An industry consortium known as the Object Management Group (OMG) developed CORBA. There are several implementations of CORBA, the most widely used being IBM's SOM and DSOM architectures. Two competing models are Microsoft COM and the Sun Microsystems RMI. CORBA objects can be accessed by using Chili!Soft Chili!Beans. For more information about using CORBA objects within Chili!Soft ASP, contact Chili!Soft Customer Support.
