Java IDL (Java and CORBA)
CORBA is short for Common Object Request Broker Architecture administered by the OMG that puts effort in defining a standard framework for distributed, language-independent object interoperability. CORBA allows the ability to invoke remote methods on CORBA-compliant integration products. This allows Java to talk to eg. CORBA enabled legacy systems. The procedure to make a CORBA call is quite complex but is hidden by an Object Request Broker (ORB) and the interface definition language (IDL). The ORB makes it simple for the programmer to find a CORBA service and perform method calls on it. The IDL is a way to describe remote objects in terms of data types, operations, attributes, etc. The IDL is language-neutral, which makes it easy to describe a remote object regardless of the language it has been written in.
