This book investigates the integration of CORBA technology with web-based development environments to facilitate distributed object computing. Ron Ben-Natan, an expert in distributed systems, provides a technical framework for leveraging OrbixWeb to bridge the gap between traditional object request brokers and modern internet applications. The text argues that combining CORBA, Java, and JavaBeans creates a robust architecture for complex, scalable financial and enterprise software systems.

Experts recognize this text as a specialized resource for developers working with legacy distributed object architectures in a web context. Readers frequently note the technical density of the prose, which assumes a high level of prior knowledge in object-oriented programming.
