In reply to Prasad's reference to Dan Connolly's page: http://www.w3.org/pub/WWW/DesignIssues/DistObjApps.html There is a link there to our work on integrating ILU (and thus CORBA-type object systems) with the Web: http://hunan.digicool.com/products/dcglue/ IMHO, there is space for a low-end distributed object strategy based around CORBA, and using net software. Much in the same way that HTML surpassed SGML on the net, due to simplicity of implementation, this strategy helps to start getting objects out there. The fact that it eliminates CGI, as well as machine boundaries, is a further win. If anyone is interested in more discussion, feel free to send me an email. We have object requesters written to the Apache API (Linux and Solaris in use) and the Netsite API (Solaris and NT in use). We are heavily using the wondrous Python scripting lanuage: http://www.python.org/ on Unices, NT, and Win95 to implement our objects, as well as some C and C++. I strongly feel that a best first step is a simple scripting language, and a mature object infrastructure, combined to plug into the Web (thus avoiding client issues). A next step would be use of multiple languages, and getting object references into browser. We just did a tutorial at the 3rd Python Workshop on what we are doing -- feel free to contact me for details. -- Paul Everitt Digital Creations paul@digicool.com 703.371.6909 "."
