Problem

You would like to make use of CORBA distributed components to create a distributed application.

Process

• Analysis:
  - defining the business model's classes
  - retrieving existing CORBA components
  - reverse engineering existing applications in order to obtain a complete UML analysis model
• Design:
  - determining those classes likely to be distributed
  - annotating the analysis model using specific UML extensions
  - defining particular properties (attributes, CORBA types)
  - putting adapted Design Patterns into place
• Coding and testing:
  - automatic generation of IDL and C++ using a CASE tool
  - addition and testing of parts of the code specific to the business

Benefits

• Learning good practices while working on a real project
• No "reinventing the wheel" , avoidance of common design errors
• A more rapid return on investment
