From Scripts to Meta Scripts

• CorbaScript allows any operation invocation on any CORBA object

• The problem:
  • integration of a new service requires to program a new CGI script
  • integration of millions of object types requires a plethora of CGI scripts

• The solution: the meta scripts
  • Definition of generic actions on CORBA objects
  • These scripts take parameters like object references or scripts
  • They apply meta operations on these parameters such as an object browsing or a script execution
  • Scripts and meta scripts are written with CorbaScript language
