Distributed Computing & XML
•Problems with DCOM & CORBA
–Interfaces based clients bind to the interface IDL
–DCOM works only among select platforms
•Predominantly on Windows NT, 2000, etc.
–Client side ORB is required in case of CORBA
–
–These technologies are for intranet and not internet
•firewall will block the requests from a truly remote client!
•
•XML
–provides cross platform transfer mechanism
–has multi-language / multi-vendor support
–So why not use XML to transport method invocation rather than simply data?
