ZORBA Zisc Object Request Broker Api


ZORBA IS A JAVA-CORBA TOOLKIT THAT ENABLES YOU TO MANAGE REMOTELY VIA INTERNET/INTRANET THE ZISC CARD AT THE JAVA API (JAZ) LEVEL AND HIGHER LEVEL.
THIS TOOLKIT IS COMPOSED OF:

ZORBASTART.CLASS (SERVER_MANAGER)
ZORBASERVER.CLASS (CORBA SERVER  WITH ZISC API)
JAZ.CLASS (Java Api for Zisc)
JAZAPI.DLL (Java Api for Zisc NATIVE LIBRARY)
ZORBACLIENT.CLASS (CORBA CLIENT  WITH ZISC API)
  zorba.class (JAVA INTERFACE GENERATED FROM IDL)
_zorbaImplBase.class (the server skeleton class)
_st_zorba.class (client stub class)
zorbaHelper.class (support class)
zorbaHolder.class (support class)
typeHelper.class (support classes)
typeHolder.class (support classes)

ACTUALLY ZORBA WORKS ON THE  ORB RUNTIME OF
VISIBROKER for JAVA by BORLAND-INPRISE
 

IN ORDER TO RUN YOUR CLIENT-SERVER APPLICATION YOU NEED TO WRITE ONLY THE CLIENT USING THE SAME CALLS TO JAZ METHODS BUT MAKING THEM ON THE ZORBACLI.CLASS  (YOU NEED CREATE AN INSTANCE OF THIS CLASS BEFORE ALL IN YOUR PROGRAM). THE ZORBACLIENT OBJECT, THROUGH THE STUB OBJECT AND THE "VIRTUAL BUS" ORB(OBJECT REQUEST BROKER), WILL FORWARD THE CALLS TO THE ZORBASERVER OBJECT ON THE REMOTE SERVER COMPUTER (WHERE THE ZISC CARD IS INSTALLED).
ON THE SERVER COMPUTER, THE ZORBASER OBJECT WILL CALL THE METHODS ON THE JAZ OBJECT THAT FINALLY WILL CALL THE NATIVE CODE ON JAZAPI.DLL ACCESSING THE ZISC CARD HARDWARE.
