CORBA Objects

CORBA Objects - objects that may be exported to clients, and allow them to perform various operations.

A CORBA object needs to be alive inside some server process in order to be accessible. A single server process may handle an unlimited number of CORBA objects.

A CORBA object may be addressed using an IOR - Inter-operable Object Reference. The IOR encodes the name of the host on which the server process is running, the TCP port on which it is listening, and the ID of the specific CORBA object in the server.
