Nokia M2M PLATFORM Benutzerhandbuch

 

The Nokia M2M ADK includes an IDL compiler for the embedded application 
development. The IDL compiler is a program that reads IDL files and produces 
the necessary programming language-specific files: skeletons and stubs. These 
translate message data into a form that is appropriate for cross-platform 
messaging. This is described in Figure 5. The block arrows show that a client 
code-calling a method on the server only sees a local method call, which is no 
different from the mundane method-calls in non-distributed programming. The 
ORB, together with the generated stub and skeleton code, hides the distribution 
completely.
