2.2 A CORBA-based Hello World

This chapter's example is an implementation of the standard Hello World application, using Dylan and CORBA. In this version of Hello World, a client application asks a server application for a string. When the client receives the string, it prints it to the standard output, and then exits.

These are the basic steps we will take to create this application:

1. Create the projects.

We use Functional Developer's New Project wizard to create client and server CORBA projects.

2. Define the interface.

We define the interface to the server using OMG's Interface Definition Language (IDL).

3. Implement the client.

4. Implement the server.

5. Build and test the application.
