JVMs can be located on separate computers - yet one JVM can invoke methods belonging to an object stored in another JVM. Methods can even pass objects that a foreign virtual machine has never encountered before, allowing dynamic loading of new classes as required. This is a powerful feature!

Java 1.2 includes everything you need to start writing CORBA services. In this article, I'll show you how to get started with Java IDL.
