2 Overview of CORBA The global architecture of CORBA.

3 Object Model The general organization of a CORBA system.

4 Corba Services Overview of CORBA services. ServiceDescription CollectionFacilities for grouping objects into lists, queue, sets, etc. QueryFacilities for querying collections of objects in a declarative manner ConcurrencyFacilities to allow concurrent access to shared objects TransactionFlat and nested transactions on method calls over multiple objects EventFacilities for asynchronous communication through events NotificationAdvanced facilities for event-based asynchronous communication ExternalizationFacilities for marshaling and unmarshaling of objects Life cycleFacilities for creation, deletion, copying, and moving of objects LicensingFacilities for attaching a license to an object NamingFacilities for systemwide name of objects PropertyFacilities for associating (attribute, value) pairs with objects TradingFacilities to publish and find the services on object has to offer PersistenceFacilities for persistently storing objects RelationshipFacilities for expressing relationships between objects SecurityMechanisms for secure channels, authorization, and auditing TimeProvides the current time within specified error margins

5 Object Invocation Models Invocation models supported in CORBA. Request typeFailure semanticsDescription SynchronousAt-most-onceCaller blocks until a response is returned or an exception is raised One-wayBest effort deliveryCaller continues immediately without waiting for any response from the server Deferred synchronous At-most-onceCaller continues immediately and can later block until response is delivered

6 Event and Notification Services (1) The logical organization of suppliers and consumers of events, following the push-style model.

7 Event and Notification Services (2) The pull-style model for event delivery in CORBA.

8 Messaging (1) CORBA's callback model for asynchronous method invocation.

9 Messaging (2) CORBA'S polling model for asynchronous method invocation.

10 Interoperability GIOP message types. Message typeOriginatorDescription RequestClientContains an invocation request ReplyServerContains the response to an invocation LocateRequestClientContains a request on the exact location of an object LocateReplyServerContains location information on an object CancelRequestClientIndicates client no longer expects a reply CloseConnectionBothIndication that connection will be closed MessageErrorBothContains information on an error FragmentBothPart (fragment) of a larger message

11 Clients Logical placement of interceptors in CORBA.

12 Portable Object Adaptor (1) Mapping of CORBA object identifiers to servants. a)The POA supports multiple servants. b)The POA supports a single servant.

13 Portable Object Adaptor (2) Changing a C++ object into a CORBA object. My_servant *my_object;// Declare a reference to a C++ object CORBA::Objectid_var oid;// Declare a CORBA identifier my_object = new MyServant;// Create a new C++ object oid = poa ->activate_object (my_object); // Register C++ object as CORBA OBJECT

21 Security (2) The role of security interceptors in CORBA.

22 Overview of DCOM The general organization of ActiveX, OLE, and COM.

23 Object Model The difference between language-defined and binary interfaces.

24 Tape Library and Registry The overall architecture of DCOM.

26 Events Event processing in DCOM.

27 Clients Passing an object reference in DCOM with custom marshaling.

28 Monikers (1) Binding to a DCOM object by means of file moniker. StepPerformerDescription 1ClientCalls BindMoniker at moniker 2Moniker Looks up associated CLSID and instructs SCM to create object 3SCMLoads class object 4Class object Creates object and returns interface pointer to moniker 5MonikerInstructs object to load previously stored state 6ObjectLoads its state from file 7MonikerReturns interface pointer of object to client

29 Monikers (2) DCOM-defined moniker types. Moniker typeDescription File monikerReference to an object constructed from a file URL monikerReference to an object constructed from a URL Class monikerReference to a class object Composite monikerReference to a composition of monikers Item monikerReference to a moniker in a composition Pointer monikerReference to an object in a remote process

30 Active Directory The general organization of Active Directory.

31 Fault Tolerance Transaction attribute values for DCOM objects. Attribute valueDescription REQUIRES_NEWA new transaction is always started at each invocation REQUIREDA new transaction is started if not already done so SUPPORTEDJoin a transaction only if caller is already part of one NOT_SUPPORTEDNever join a transaction DISABLEDNever join a transaction, even if told to do so

32 Declarative Security (1) Authentication levels in DCOM. Authentication levelDescription NONENo authentication is required CONNECTAuthenticate client when first connected to server CALLAuthenticate client at each invocation PACKETAuthenticate all data packets PACKET_INTEGRITYAuthenticate data packets and do integrity check PACKET_PRIVACYAuthenticate, integrity-check, and encrypt data packets

33 Declarative Security (2) Impersonation levels in DCOM. Impersonation levelDescription ANONYMOUSThe client is completely anonymous to the server IDENTIFY The server knows the client and can do access control checks IMPERSONATEThe server can invoke local objects on behalf of the client DELEGATEThe server can invoke remote objects on behalf of the client

34 Programmatic Security a)Default authentication services supported in DCOM. b)Default authorization services supported in DCOM.
