Abstract

We describe an architecture called WebFINDIT that allows dynamic couplings of Web accessible databases based on their content and interest. We propose an implementation using WWW, Java, JDBC, and CORBA´s ORBs that communicate via the CORBA´s IIOP protocol. The combination of these technologies offers a compelling middleware infrastructure to implement fluid-area enterprise applications. In addition to a discussion of WebFINDIT´s core concepts and implementation architecture, we also discuss an experience of exiting WebFINDIT in a healthcare application
