  1. CORBA Chapter 17 Coulouris text

  2. Today’s Topics • CORBA History and goals • CORBA RMI • CORBA services • The Distributed Whiteboard Revisited

  3. CORBA History and Goals • Object Management Group Formed in 1989 • Goals: -- OOP on distributed systems -- heterogeneous hardware -- heterogeneous OS -- different programming languages

  4. History and Goals • OMG Introduced the Object Request Broker (ORB) • The role of the ORB is to help a client find an object, activate the object if necessary, and call a method on the object. • Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) agreed to by a group of companies in 1991 • CORBA 2.0 specification released in 1996

  5. History and Goals • CORBA 2.0 specification defined standards for different implementations of CORBA to communicate with one another • These standards are called the General Inter-ORB protocol (GIOP) and may run over various transports • GIOP over TCP/IP is called the Internet Inter-ORB Protocol

  6. CORBA RMI • Main components -- An Interface Definition language (IDL) that promotes the use of different programming languages, stubs are generated in the client’s language and skeletons are generated in the server’s language -- An architecture -- GIOP defines an external data representation (CDR) as well as message formats and message types -- Message types include request and reply as well as location requests, errors, and request cancellations

  7. CORBA Services • A set of generic services that can be used for distributed application -- Naming Service (location by name) -- Trading Service (location by attribute - directory service) -- Event Service -- Security Service (authentication, ACL’s, auditing, non- repudiation) -- Transaction Service (begin, commit, rollback a series of RMI calls ) -- Persistent Object Service (POS)

  8. The Distributed Whiteboard Example in CORBA

  9. IDL interfaces Shape and ShapeList struct Rectangle{ // no class in IDL 1 long width; long height; long x; long y; } ; struct GraphicalObject { 2 string type; Rectangle enclosing; boolean isFilled; }; interface Shape { 3 long getVersion() ; GraphicalObject getAllState() ; // returns state of the GraphicalObject }; typedef sequence <Shape, 100> All; // All is a 100 element array 4 interface ShapeList { 5 exception FullException{ }; 6 Shape newShape(in GraphicalObject g) raises (FullException); 7 All allShapes(); // returns sequence of remote object references 8 long getVersion() ; // parameters are in, out, or both }; // parameters may be primitive, struct or array and // are passed by value // parameters whose type is an IDL interface // is passed by remote reference

  10. idltojava • Run idltojava on the above interface • The command idlj is found in j2sdk1.4.2\bin • The Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition, v1.4, provides an Object Request Broker (ORB) runtime component • The JDK documentation states that its Java ORB has not been tested with ORB’s written in other languages • JDK 1.4 provides an Orb class with a pluggable architecture

  11. From the JDK Doc OMG specifies a mapping from IDL to several different programming languages, including Java, C, C++, Lisp, Python, Smalltalk, COBOL, and Ada. When mapped, each statement in OMG IDL is translated to a corresponding statement in the programming language of choice.

  12. Java interface ShapeList generated by idltojava from CORBA interface ShapeList public interface ShapeList extends org.omg.CORBA.Object { Shape newShape(GraphicalObject g) throws ShapeListPackage.FullException; Shape[] allShapes(); int getVersion(); }

  13. ShapeListServant class from CORBA interface ShapeList import org.omg.CORBA.*; class ShapeListServant extends _ShapeListImplBase { ORB theOrb; private Shape theList[]; private int version; private static int n=0; public ShapeListServant(ORB orb){ theOrb = orb; // initialize the other instance variables } public Shape newShape(GraphicalObject g) throws ShapeListPackage.FullException { 1 version++; Shape s = new ShapeServant( g, version); if(n >=100) throw new ShapeListPackage.FullException(); theList[n++] = s; 2 theOrb.connect(s); return s; } public Shape[] allShapes(){ ... } public int getVersion() { ... } }

  14. Java class ShapeListServer import org.omg.CosNaming.*; import org.omg.CosNaming.NamingContextPackage.*; import org.omg.CORBA.*; public class ShapeListServer { public static void main(String args[]) { try{ ORB orb = ORB.init(args, null); 1 ShapeListServant shapeRef = new ShapeListServant(orb); 2 orb.connect(shapeRef); 3 org.omg.CORBA.Object objRef = orb.resolve_initial_references("NameService"); 4 NamingContext ncRef = NamingContextHelper.narrow(objRef); NameComponent nc = new NameComponent("ShapeList", ""); 5 NameComponent path[] = {nc}; 6 ncRef.rebind(path, shapeRef); 7 java.lang.Object sync = new java.lang.Object(); synchronized (sync) { sync.wait();} } catch (Exception e) { ... } } }

  15. Java client program for CORBA interfaces Shape and ShapeList import org.omg.CosNaming.*; import org.omg.CosNaming.NamingContextPackage.*; import org.omg.CORBA.*; public class ShapeListClient{ public static void main(String args[]) { try{ ORB orb = ORB.init(args, null); 1 org.omg.CORBA.Object objRef = orb.resolve_initial_references("NameService"); NamingContext ncRef = NamingContextHelper.narrow(objRef); NameComponent nc = new NameComponent("ShapeList", ""); NameComponent path [] = { nc }; ShapeList shapeListRef = ShapeListHelper.narrow(ncRef.resolve(path)); 2 Shape[] sList = shapeListRef.allShapes(); 3 GraphicalObject g = sList[0].getAllState(); 4 } catch(org.omg.CORBA.SystemException e) {...} }
