Inside the IDL to Java Mapping

Overview

Though Java and CORBA are complementary technologies, Java has a private world of its own and so does CORBA. All CORBA objects were intended to live beyond a programming language world like that of Java or C++. In fact, all CORBA objects live in a virtual world with semantics of their own, and remember, they can only be accessed through the interfaces they expose. Another point to be noted is that CORBA does not associate remoteness into the objects, only location transparency is what is introduced at this point.
