Distributed Objects

The Integrated Object Model (IOM) interfaces now support versioning. This enables your client applications to query the server to determine what features it supports.
Release 8.1 added support for using the VisiBroker CORBA ORB on NT servers. In Release 8.2, support for using the IONA Orbix 2000 ORB on NT servers has been added.
Workspace pooling for Windows clients enables you to share a pool of server workspaces (serially) among multiple clients. This is particularly useful in three-tier deployments like those that use Active Server Pages (ASP).
Enhancements to the Java Workspace Factory make it easier for you to use the Workspace Pooling feature in your Java clients. In this release, the functions of the WorkspacePoolDriver have been integrated into the Java Workspace Factory. In addition, an LDAP server is no longer required in order to use the Java Workspace Pooling feature.
