Implementing FT-CORBA with Portable Interceptors: Lessons Learned

Resumo


In this paper, we present the design of Open EDEN, an implementation of the FT-CORBA specification based on the use of a group communication framework, called EDEN. The design of Open EDEN was driven by the desire to use only portable techniques (mainly portable interceptors) to integrate the EDEN framework within a CORBA platform. We discuss the main difficulties we encountered and we draw some conclusions about the adequacy of this choice.
