Abstract

Object middleware is an enabling technology for distributed applications that are required to operate in heterogeneous computing and communication environments. Although hiding distribution aspects to application designers proves beneficial, in an operational environment system managers may need detailed information on information flows and the locality of objects in order to track problems or tune the system. Therefore, hooks are required inside the processing core of the middleware to obtain inside-information and to influence the processing of information flows. We present the use of portable interceptors for the management of CORBA as well as COM/DCOM middleware. Management information is structured in a middleware technology independent way, using XML for representation. Our approach shows two aspects of “management transparency��?: application designers are not burdened with designing management functionality, and system managers can manage CORBA and (D)COM from a single set of management tools.
