Java IDL adds
CORBA (Common Object Request Broker
Architecture) capability to the
Java platform, providing
standards-based interoperability and connectivity. Java IDL enables distributed
Web-enabled Java applications to transparently invoke operations on remote
network services using the industry standard
OMG IDL (Object Management Group Interface Definition
Language) and
IIOP (Internet Inter-ORB Protocol).
