Distributed Object Computing Using Java and CORBA is a 15-hours course that Distributed Object Computing Using Java and CORBA is a 15-hour course that introduces students to the fundamentals of distributed object computing using CORBA. Students learn how to choose and install an ORB as well as the fundamentals of the Interface Definition Language (IDL), including how IDL maps to Java. Students also get hands-on experience building client and server applications that use static invocation and the Dynamic Invocation Interface.

• Describe the role of CORBA in developing enterprise application and discuss CORBA architecture
• Describe the role of object management group OMG
• Use the interface definition language IDL to define the interface to CORBA objects, and describe the mapping of IDL nonclass data types into java
• Use the IDL compiler to generate client stubs and server skeletons
• Invoke remote methods using the out and inout parameters
• Describe and implement the Dynamic Invocation Interface DII
