Abstract

This OMG's CORBA Microsoft's COM/DCOM and Sun's Java RMI are three models that enable different software components to work together, The fact that the components must comply with a specific underlying middleware architectures, creates compatibility problems between components based on different architectures. Our target is to allow a server object, which may be CORBA, COM/DCOM, or RMI compliant, to expose its methods to CORBA, COM/DCOM and RMI - based clients. Our research concerns the development of an architecture capable of providing an independent context for building mediators capable of integrading multi - technology distributed objects. We are using the Java language as the programming tool for the creation of a mediator mechanism. Our architecture allows the interoperation between an RMI client and a CORBA server, a CORBA client and a RMI server, a CORBA client and a COM/DCOM server and a COM/DCOM client and a RMI server.
