Using Java and CORBA for Implementing Internet Databases

We describe an architecture called WebFINDIT that allows dynamic couplings of Web accessible databases based on tlleir content and interest. We propose an implementation using WWW, Java, JDBC, and CORBA's ORBS that communicate via the CORBA `s IIOP protocol. The combination of these technologies offers a compelling middleware infrastructure to implement wide-area enterprise applications. In addition to a discussion of WebFINDIT's core concepts and implementalion architecture, we also discuss an experience of using WebFINDIT in a ilealthcare application.
