'attain' implies success, doesn't it? sit or take would be more appropriate I think. sadly, my CORBA and RMI skills are very limited. In stead I could comment on DCOM (the MS approach to distributed computing): DCOM (or COM+ as it is called these days) has a lot in common with CORBA (or so, I've been told). The basic idea is to have a description of an object, which the caller of the object uses to find out what methods are available and which parameters they receive and what type the value returned from the method has. MS has invented a language they call IDL - interface description language for this purpose. There is nothing special about MS IDL. It lets you describe the methods you of your object mothing more - nothing less. You should be away that there is a limit to the number of methods a COM+ object can have (127). Each method must have a unique id (which is 7 bits wide) attached to it. There is no real reason why this must be so - all methods are called by name, not by the unique id it receives. When implementing a COM+ interface all datatypes must be VisualBasic compatible (guess why), which means that there is quite a bit of data conversion that must be done whenever method parameters are read or data is returned from a method. This is a bit of a hassle if you do not want to use MFC and all that comes with it. My druby experience is, sadly, also very limited: I have tested it once, just to see how it works. AFAIK mashalling is used in druby to transmit data across networks. There is no interface description needed in order to work on a remote object, no hassles, you work on remote objects the same way as you would with local objects. Comparing CORBA and COM+ to druby is a bit unfair, since druby will never work across languages (neither will RMI, so a comparison there might be in order). CORBA and COM+ are solving issues with little/big endian and calling conventions across networks AND programming languages.
