CORBA DEVELOPERS'S GUIDE WITH XML. CD-ROM included

While the first design goal of the XML Recommendation states that "XML shall be straightforwardly usable over the Internet," it can be demonstrated that XML has broad application in such areas as e-commerce. With this in mind, CORBA Developer's Guide with XML focuses on XML document type definition (DTD) design using the structures of CORBA to present a new perspective to programming in an object-oriented environment. This book does not teach XML but rather discusses design for experienced object-oriented developers. Programmers need to comprehend how an analysis of an environment, CORBA, assists in the design and development of XML elements, attributes, and entities that reflect that environment. The companion CD-ROM included with this book contains a trial version of XML Authority from Extensibility, Inc., and a multimedia presentation to explain the essential concepts of the XML Recommendation. This book: > Reviews the popular markup language XML for designing applications appropriate for CORBAservices and CORBAfacilities. > Discusses the significance of document type definitions (DTDs) and the Document Object Model (DOM) for the development of XML applications. > Uses the Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) specifications to establish CORBA infrastructure interfaces and associated variables. > Explains how to design Extensible Markup Language (XML) document type definitions using CORBA infrastructure. > Includes the XML production rules, XML terms, and markup examples.
