The integration of Java with CORBA to achieve platform independent
distributed control and system monitoring applications in the PHENIX
Online Computer System will be presented. The PHENIX Online Computer
system is distributed over the Solaris, NT, Linux, and VxWorks operating
systems. These environments run on Sun SPARCstation, Pentium and Power
PC architectures respectively. CORBA has been used extensively in this
environment to provide distributed access among these divergent platforms.
This paper will present the experiences gained and the techniques, which
were developed in applying these two technologies to the PHENIX,
distributed control environment. Techniques used for passing complex data
types between clients and server applications will be presented.
Performance and Security issues of Java based applications and applets
and their relevance to the control environment of large-scale detector
requirements will be discussed. Java provides the promise of platform
independence by executing bytecode in a uniform Virtual Machine. The OMG
CORBA IIOP communication protocol was developed to provide seamless
communication of applications developed with different ORB implementations.
The experience and degree to which these promises of ORB interoperability,
platform independence and seamless communication in the PHENIX control and
monitoring applications will be evaluated.
