Java program slices and CORBA

A Java program can play the role of a CORBA customer. This allows the program to access remote information and services that are revealed by CORBA objects. However, the program can only connect to the server that originally downloaded it, so all CORBA objects that the program communicates with it must be located on that server. This is contrary to CORBA's purpose: It promises to achieve "position transparency" or "location-independent".

The use of Java patches as CORBA customers also poses some security concerns. If you are on the intranet, one way is to loosen the security restrictions on your browser. or set up a firewall to establish a secure connection to the external server.

To address this problem, some Java Orb products specialize in offering their own solutions. For example, some products implement a technology called HTTP Channel (HTTP tunneling), while others provide special firewall capabilities.

As part of the appendix, all of these topics seem too complicated. But they are really issues that need to be focused on.
