ABOUT: ORBexpress for Java

ORBexpress® is the middleware solution for building multi-tier, distributed systems. It enables your application components to communicate with each other no matter where they are located or who has designed them. Using ORBexpress for Java, client/server applications can transparently run across multiple platforms, operating systems, programming languages, and compilers. ORBexpress for Java targets applications that need a fast ORB and world-class reliability.

Designed to address the core challenges of distributed applications, ORBexpress for Java provides a fast, standards-based alternative to in-house, proprietary messaging protocols. This enables developers to focus on applications, not communications. ORBexpress for Java developers can build robust distributed systems with all the advantages of Java’s efficiency and robust tool support.


FEATURES: ORBexpress for Java

  • Tested Interoperability: ORBexpress for Java fully supports IIOP™ (Internet Inter-ORB Protocol), the CORBA standard, vendor-independent protocol. Through IIOP, ORBexpress for Java offers proven interoperability with other IIOP-compliant ORBs and middleware.
  • Full Multi-Threading: ORBexpress for Java fully supports multi-threaded distributed applications on all platforms. The product provides a portable thread and synchronization primitive library providing high performance and cross platform consistency.
  • Fast Multiplexing Connection Model: The ORBexpress for Java connection management maintains high performance as the number of objects, operations, and threads are increased. Multiple requests to a server from different threads share the same connection. Requests can be processed in parallel by multiple server threads.
  • Portability: ORBexpress for Java enables true application portability. ORBexpress for Java has a fully featured Portable Object Adapter (POA) to ensure portability of object implementations. The ORBexpress IDL (Interface Definition Language) compiler generates readable and portable Java code.
  • Optimized Collocation: ORBexpress for Java provides the architectural flexibility of complete location transparency, including collocation of objects in the same process. ORBexpress for Java optimizes invocations between collocated objects to a local function call, maximizing performance.
  • Fault Resilient Connections: ORBexpress for Java facilitates fault-resilient connections between a client and server, enabling the development of highly available systems. Alternate paths to a server can be established. On failure to establish a connection or failure of an established connection, ORBexpress for Java can retry on the same path, use an alternate path, or fail over to an alternate server.
  • Flexible, Controllable Quality of Service: ORBexpress for Java supports synchronous and asynchronous messaging to provide flexibility for your application. Reliability options allow tuning to your application needs.
