CORBA as an EAI-enabling technology

This book gives a very good overview of Enterprise Application Integration(EAI) and about the methods and the techniques for approaching EAI successfully. The main thing is about the role of CORBA as an EAI-enabling technology and the domains where EAI needs. The later chapters explains the latest additions in the evolving CORBA technology apart from some precious real world examples towards its goal. It is a very useful book for those who are to use CORBA as a viable integrating technology.

Wow! Finally a CORBA Book I can understand!

Excellent! Worth every penny. I especially liked the chapter on security...
