Computer-implemented method, apparatus, and computer program product for transmitting information between CORBA applications and servers utilizing HTTP

摘要

A computer-implemented method, apparatus, and computer program product in a data processing environment for transmitting information between a CORBA application executing within a client and a server utilizing HTTP are disclosed. An application that is being executed by a client requests a CORBA IDL stub to invoke a method. The CORBA IDL stub transmits requests to a server utilizing Internet Inter-ORB Protocol (IIOP). An HTTP stub is generated that transmits requests utilizing HTTP. The HTTP stub corresponds to the CORBA IDL stub such that the CORBA IDL stub and the HTTP stub define the same methods. The HTTP stub transmits the request of the CORBA IDL stub to invoke the method to the server utilizing HTTP.
