The Open-ORB Python Prototype API
NORUT IT Report IT302/2-99, NORUT IT, Norway, October 1999.
Abstract
This note gives an introduction to the Application Programming Interface (API) of the Open-ORB Python Prototype (OOPP). OOPP is based on the middleware architecture under development in the Open-ORB project at Lancaster University. Open-ORB is a reflective component-based middleware platform. Traditionally, middleware mask out the problems of heterogeneity and distribution. However, a wide range of new and existing applications require the possibilty to configure the support provided and to inspect and adapt this support at run-time. Open-ORB provides this openess through the concept of refelction.
