Why and when to perform this task
WebSphere CORBA support can be divided into two categories:
- WebSphere to WebSphere CORBA support
- Enables creation of CORBA client and server applications within the WebSphere
Application Server environment. You can use the CORBA C++ SDK to build a lightweight
WebSphere CORBA server to use with new or existing C and C++ programs. You
also can use the SDK to build a WebSphere CORBA C++ client to use with a WebSphere
EJB server or WebSphere CORBA C++ server.
- WebSphere to other ORB support
- Enables other applications that are based on CORBA Object Request Brokers
(ORBs) to interoperate with WebSphere Application Server. This enables these
applications to leverage WebSphere-supported open technologies, such as Java
ServerPages, XML, Java Servlets, and enterprise beans.
This documentation focuses on WebSphere to WebSphere,
the first category of CORBA support, which encompasses the following scenarios:
- WebSphere CORBA C++ client to a WebSphere EJB server
- Enables a CORBA C++ client to access enterprise beans hosted by a WebSphere
EJB server. For more information, see CORBA client to WebSphere EJB server.
- WebSphere CORBA C++ client to a WebSphere CORBA C++ server
- Enables a WebSphere CORBA C++ client to access a CORBA server implementation
object hosted by a C++ CORBA server within the WebSphere Application Server
environment. This CORBA support provides the basic CORBA building blocks to
create CORBA C++ client and server applications within WebSphere Application
Server.
