Portable Objects is a tool set for building distributed applications. It consists of two major components, the Persistence Framework and SOMBA (Simple Object Message Broker Architecture). The Persistences Framework is used to marshal method call parameters, and SOMBA as the communications layer. Anything that can be persisted using the Persistence Framework can be transmitted across a SOMBA method call.

Features

• Communicates using TCP/IP and HTTP 1.1 protocols making it an ideal tool for use with the internet and corporate intranet.
• SOMBA servers support multiple threads to maximize throughput.
• Support transmission of NULL pointers.
• Natural data types are used for each supported language e.g. language specific versions of strings.
• No need to learn and use IDL (Interface Definition Lanaguage).

Supported Languages

• V5, V6 & V2006

• V5, V6, V7, V2005 & 2006 (WIN32)
