Inprise bridges DCE and CORBA

Inprise - formerly Borland - has just unveiled a bridge that links
Distributed Computing Environment (DCE) servers with the Object
Management Group's Common Object Request Broker (CORBA).

DCE was introduced ten years ago by the Open Software
Foundation (now swallowed by the Open Group) as a distributed
computing framework that was vendor-neutral and robust.

Inprise's Entera is used as a Rapid Application Development (RAD)
environment to hide some of the complexity of middleware
programming.

The next logical step was to Web-enable applications that support
DCE by connecting to the CORBA environment, with its Internet
Inter-ORB Protocol (IIOP), resulting in the Inprise DCE-CORBA
Bridge.The result is that legacy systems can be integrated with
e-commerce applications using the
Bridge, and taking advantage of DCE security. The DCE or Entera
servers are linked to the Bridge by the Remote Procedure Call
(RPC) communications service, with IIOP the other side of the
Bridge linking to CORBA clients on the Internet.

DCE does not directly support TCP/IP, so the new Bridge makes it
possible to keep back-end DCE applications and Web-enable them
in a CORBA environment without any reprogramming.

This is heady stuff, but it is part of Inprise's new focus away from direct competition with Microsoft and towards Java and Internet distributed enterprise applications.

Inprise has now had five consecutive profitable quarters, so the
turnaround plan put in place by CEO Del Yocam is looking
successful.
