Additional Standards
  • The OMG publishes many additional specifications. Many ORB vendors provide these as additional add-on components. The more common and useful ones include:
    • Naming Service
      • Important for bootstrapping and configuration
    • Transaction Service
      • Very useful for distributed applications
    • Event Service
      • Asynchronous coupling of objects
  • The OMG has documents describing many more services
    • Some of these specifications have dubious utility
    • Lack of implementations is a good indicator
