I recommend [Szyperski97], both as an introduction to
component-technology, and
as a reference for more advanced readers.
For an introduction to CORBA, you may
read [Siegel96]. A readable account of the
ODMG standard is given in [Cattell94].
For more information on Java, again, visit
.
For information on (D)COM, look at
www.microsoft.com/com .
Learning how to program CORBA applications is probably best
learned from the manuals that come with your CORBA
distribution.
For an evaluation of object store management and naming schemes
see [Persistent].
