Inprise公司向人们介绍了高端应用开发工具DCE-CORBA Bridge,它是从CORBA应用连接到分布式计算环境(Distributed Computing Environment, DCE)的接口。 DCE是一系列高性能、跨平台的协议,从Unix到虚拟内存到大型机到Windows NT。然而,尽管以前的DCE提供了高安全性的多种平台,但在它上面进行开发却是十分困难的。它还是Internet成为标准的应用开发环境之前的通用平台。Inprise公司说:“问题在于,如果一个公司想使用CORBA,它必须放弃或改变它原来的许多应用。我们希望通过DCE保留旧的应用并连到CORBA的客户机上。” CORBA最近增加的在TCP/IP和Internet方面 Inprise introduced the DCE-CORBA Bridge, a high-end application development tool that interfaces with CORBA applications to the Distributed Computing Environment (DCE). DCE is a series of high-performance, cross-platform protocols ranging from Unix to virtual memory to mainframe to Windows NT. However, while previous DCEs provided multiple platforms for high security, it was quite hard to develop on top of it. It is also a common platform for the Internet to become a standard application development environment. Inprise said: “The problem is that if a company wants to use CORBA, it has to give up or change many of its original applications. We want to keep the old application via DCE and connect it to CORBA’s clients.” CORBA’s recent addition to TCP / IP and Internet
