235.0. "Java and CORBA in Netscape's latest Web Server" by HOUBA::MEHERS (Damian, http://bigbird.geo.dec.com/) Tue Jun 03 1997 07:58

    
    From index.html in http://bigbird.geo.dec.com/wwwadi/awadicorba.zip
    
    I have been delivering a course on Web Enabling Applications (Advanced
    WWW Application Development and Integration) for almost a year now. 
    
    As you can imagine, the field changes very fast, and I am constantly
    working to keep the course material up to date. As part of this update
    process, I am adding a module on Netscape's Web Server CORBA integration,
    specifically covering the use of LiveConnect to allow the access to CORBA
    objects from their Server-side Javascript implementation (LiveWire). This
    is (IMHO) a very exciting development, since it offers the CORBA
    equivalent to Microsoft's Active Server Pages COM integration. 
    
    Included here is the experimental Lab from this course. It uses the
    Netscape Enterprise Server 3.0 Beta, which you can currently download
    from http://home.netscape.com/comprod/mirror/server_download.html 
    
    Please remember that it is a first draft of the lab, and it is provided
    here purely to help those struggling to get started with CORBA and
    Netscape's Web Servers.
    
    Remember that this Lab is normally delivered as part of the course, and
    is accompanied by a presentation. By the time the students get to this
    lab, they have already covered CGI, LiveWire, ISAPI, NSAPI and more.
