Abstract

The success of distributed object technology, depends on the advent of Object Request Broker (ORB) architectures that are able to integrate flexible support for various nonfunctional requirements such as security, real-time, transactions, etc. We promote component framework technology as the cornerstone for realizing such generic platforms. An ORB component framework leverages the “glue” that connects customized ORB components together. We present a reflective component architecture that improves the dynamics of this glue, such that system-wide integration of new non-functional requirements into a running ORB system becomes possible
