Comment DON'T BELIEVE THIS HYPE (Score 1) 132
This is Micro$oft propoganda. And it is wrong.
The death of CORBA is absurd. Due to the OMG's imperfect but democratic process, it is better now than it ever has been. This microsofty is announcing the death of CORBA due to the birth of EJB. Absurd.
Technically important, and strangely absent from the posting was the true relationship of EJB and CORBA. EJB does not replace CORBA at all! It is built on top of it. EJB uses RMI for distributed object communication, and RMI (and IIOP) have been enhanced so that the protocol of RMI IS IIOP. This means that an RMI client may make calls to a CORBA server, and vice versa.
