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.
Keywords: CORBA, filter objects, pluggable filters,
MICO, transparency.
