Enabling Reflection and Reconfiguration in CORBA.
Thaı́s Batista, Renato Cerqueira, Noemi de La Rocque Rodriguez · 2003
The OMG CORBA specification offers a series of reflective mechanisms that enable dynamic component definition and dynamic configuration of applications. However, these mechanisms are very hard to use in conventional language bindings, causing programmers to avoid their use and consequently choose to develop applications with static behavior. This paper presents search facilities that take advantage of the dynamic nature of the LuaOrb binding to provide the programmer with simple interfaces for identifying appropriate components on the fly.
