Pure CORBA

Summary

This chapter presented a basic outline of the Recycle Broker application, which is used as the basis for a number of examples throughout the book. The interfaces in the RecycleBroker IDL module follow common patterns and are described here as data, control, and factory style interfaces.

The implementation of the RecycleBroker interfaces is discussed in terms of common patterns such as entity objects, session objects, and process objects. These object categories are revisited in Chapter 7, which covers how to create and configure the POA to manage each type of object effectively. In Chapter 15, the object categories are discussed in the context of the CORBA Components framework.
