| Abstract | CORBA is the most common middleware for distributed computing. One of the major goals of CORBA is to make differernt OO-languages interoperable. A service can universally be offered via CORBA, the decision which language will be used to implement a service can be left to the implementors: if a mapping to this lanugage exists, CORBA takes care of the interoperability. There exist mappings for C, C++ and Smalltalk. Mappings to other OO-languages like Eiffel, Sather, Python or Beta are still to be defined. The process necessary for mapping a language to CORBA and the difficulties encountered are described in this paper. As a reference example this paper examines the mapping of Eiffel to CORBA. |
