CORBA Programming with Java Technology

( WT-1201-180 )


     Course DescriptionBack To Top

Course Offered in Partnership With DigitalThink

This courses focuses on teaching students to write Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) clients and servers in Java. During the course, students will build on their knowledge of CORBA fundamentals, the Java language, and the Java Development Kit (JDK), starting with the relationship of CORBA Interface Definition Language (IDL) and Java code, and then moving on to simple servers and clients.

This course requires ORBacus for Java 4.0 for Windows or UNIX, Java Development Kit (JDK) 1.1 or later for Windows or UNIX, and a computer running Windows, Macintosh, or UNIX. However, to complete the exercises in this course, students must have access to a computer running Windows or UNIX.

eMentoring Services are included with this course.
