Abstract:
Filtered delivery model of message passing in an object-oriented distributed
computing environment facilitates separation of message control from message
processing in a transparent manner. In this model, special objects called
filter
objects have the ability to filter messages in transit and perform
intermediate actions. We present the design and implementation of the message
filtering model for transparent dynamically pluggable filter objects for
MICO, an open-source CORBA implementation. For implementing the filtering
framework, enhancements to the MICO implementation model are proposed.
A process for development of filter objects with related tool support has
also been outlined.
