- If you are interested in network programming, Java, CGI,
- object technology, CORBA, or Network OLE, here is a good news.
-
-
- ETL HORB
-
- Version 0.2 95/12/23 (Alpha test)
-
- http://ring.etl.go.jp/openlab/horb/
-
- ETL HORB is the magic carpet for Internet programming.
-
- By using HORB with Java, you can create remote objects, call remote
- methods, pass objects, in addition to use of usual Java features.
- You can call objects on a server even from applets running in WWW
- browsers such like Netscape Navigator 2.0.
-
- You don't need to wait for CORBA or Network OLE. You can fly around
- the Internet world with HORB from now, and you can forget CGI
- and socket programming. (^_^)
-
- FEATURES:
-
- * True distributed object oriented computing.
- * HORB runs under any OS Java runs.
- Solaris, SGI, HP, IBM, Windows 95, NT, Macintosh.... (*1)
- * Remote object operations from applets!
- * HORB programs are portable at binary level and interoperable
- among all architectures HORB supports.
- * Standalone client-server, server-server, and applet-server
- programming styles.
- * You don't need to write IDL.
-
- * Works with Sun Java JDK 1.0 Beta 2 or newer.
- * Works with Netscape 2.0 Beta 4 or newer.
-
- * FREE! with source code!
-
-
- EXAMPLE 1:
-
- A HORB object can serve many connections from clients
- simultaneously. Thus, a simple applet-server program written
- in HORB replaces CGI scripts with smart remote object calls.
- Users using the WWW browsers don't need to install the HORB system.
- A runtime system (very small) is downloaded automatically.
- You can use some database access classes for HORB or Java at the
- server end.
-
- applet --------+
- applet --------+------------------------ Server A
- applet --------+
-
- WWW browsers HORB Server
- (Windows 95, NT, Macintosh...)
-
-
- EXAMPLE 2:
-
- Server A serves a virtual world. Users access the server
- from applets. Server B is the management center and it is
- controled with standalone clients. You can write this system
- as a signle HORB program, i.e., a set of Java classes.
-
- applet --------+ +------- client
- applet --------+--- Server A ---- Server B -+------- client
- applet --------+ +------- client
-
- WWW browsers Solaris NT Server standalone
- (Windows 95, NT, at at clients
- Macintosh) Tokyo Chicago with GUI
-
-
- (*1) Basically HORB system and HORB programs run under any OS
- Java runs. Some platforms such like Mac will become available
- when Java supports the platforms. Mac version will come soon.
-
- Enjoy flying with HORB, and forget CGI and socket programming!
