RmiVsCorba
Last edit September 11, 2003
JavaRemoteMethodInvocation
and
CommonObjectRequestBrokerArchitecture
share a great deal in common. The main difference is that RMI stubs must interface to a Java interface, while CORBA stubs interface to a special interface language called
InterfaceDefinitionLanguage
. There's a lot more to it than just this, of course.
