Components with CORBA

CORBA recently defined mappings for the Java language and aligned closely with Jav-aBeans and Enterprise JavaBeans for its component model. In fact, the Java Transaction Service is defined based on the CORBA model. 

Interface extension Object interfaces in CORBA are defined in IDL, in order to hide implementation details and heterogeneity in distributed systems. Extending the IDL specification with management functions, yields a modular approach. The management functionality provided by the object can be accessed by management components via the standardized interface and thus be modified without having to reconstruct the entire... 

Finally, the service-oriented paradigm is often associated with Web Services as the realizing technical infrastructure. This is not necessary [582], since other component technologies [991] like COM/DCOM [846, 847], CORBA [877], or Enterprise JavaBeans [504] are also applicable, as they implement the necessary concepts like (i) implementation transparency, (ii) location transparency, (iii) self-containment, and (iv) an explicit interface independent from its implementation.
