The constant rising of networks and the decrease of computer system costs have enforced rite development of distributed platforms. Microsoft DCOM (distributed component object model) and OMG (object management group) Cor-ba (common object request broker architecture) are two major solutions to develop distributed applications. However heterogeneity of these platforms is a fundamental problem which pc-events applications to inter-work because they depend on their platform support. Then, each of them introduces its own functionality from several perspectives: they define distinct IDLS (interface definition language), distinct system mechanisms (Sor instance, object binding is based either on object references or on interface binding handles) and distinct communication protocols: ORPC (object remote procedure call for DCOM and IIOP (Internet inter-ORB protocol) for Corba, While the commonly used approaches ale based on bridges or on parsers, we propose, in this paper an alternative approach to enable inter-working between Corba and DCOM applications. Actually, we present a model called "activeCOM" which provides native interworking between Corba and DCOM. In particular; an original solution - called GRIP for generic remote invocation protocol - obtained by combination of IIOP and ORPC internal protocol behaviours is described. The GRIP protocol inherits both the robustness of ORPC and the simplicity of IIOP. It also preserves compatibility with those solutions and enables interoperability without the use of bridges. |
