Research findings of the OSS/J’s working group on CORBA Interworking lead by Brenton Camac surveying problems faced by integrating Java and CORBA and techniques to address them. (32 pages with code examples. January 2004)
The OSS (Operations Support Systems) through Java Initiative is developing a set of standard Java APIs for end-to-end services on next-generation wireless networks, which will facilitate the convergence of telecommunications and Internet-based solutions. Since CORBA is used in much of the existing telecommunications infrastructure that is to be accessed by OSS/J systems, it is important that techniques for interworking the J2EE platform with CORBA-based systems be documented for developers of OSS/J systems.
