Next, the company will determine which business processes should be implemented as local objects and which should be implemented as distributed objects. Usually, the company will leverage a tool-kit that simplifies the distribution of those objects. There are many issues associated with simplifying distribution of objects. The tool-kit might also enhance the distribution with a robust set of communication features. A company might select a particular CORBA implementation, and build their distributed objects on top of the third party package. The CORBA vendor simplifies distribution by implementing all low-level network development. An IDL compiler will process interface definition files into client and server side base classes. These base classes use low level network APIs (such as TCP/IP) to communicate. The ve
