XML and CORBA Integration Architecture for Supporting Various Service Types

Today, XML is widely used to present structured data and its importance has been expanded much in the web environment. Generally, we exchange XML documents to process XML-based data in distributed processing environments like a CORBA. But we need to configure CORBA environments to process XML documents. The system that has initially been designed to process XML is required. If there is no such system, we should configure most parts of the system, namely, IDL definition and CORBA client, CORBA server, implementation objects. In this paper, we propose a system that can apply an integration structure of web environment and CORBA without any additional configuration. Our proposed system can support various service types, namely, Also it can offer extensibility to legacy system with CORBA by using servlet and SOAP. Our proposed system can extend the structure to integrate XML with CORBA, Hence the web platform environment that applies this architecture can support much easier integration with CORBA environment.
