Can Corba permit servers to cause the client side events

Question

Can Corba permit servers to cause the client side events or notifications? Briefly state the reason for your answer.

Answer 1

CORBA communication is intrinsically asymmetric. The request messages originate from the clients and responses originate from servers. The most significant thing to realize is that the CORBA server is a CORBA object and the CORBA client is a CORBA stub. The client application might employ object references to request the remote service; however the client application might as well implement the CORBA objects and be able of servicing the incoming requests. Al along the similar lines, a server process which implements the CORBA objects might have some object references which it uses to make the requests to other CORBA objects. Such CORBA objects may reside in the client applications. By implementing the CORBA object in a client application, any procedure which receives its object reference can notify it through executing an operation on the client-located object.
