### SmalltalkBroker**

SmalltalkBroker provides CORBA 2.0-compliant connectivity through the Smalltalk-based IDL compiler or ORB interoperability. Using SmalltalkBroker, you can connect applications running on any CORBA 2.0-compliant ORB, regardless of language binding. You can also use SmalltalkBroker to provide ORB services for Smalltalk applications.

SmalltalkBroker's built-in interface and implementation repositories encapsulate shared objects that can use and provide services with other objects on the network. Smalltalk application developers can use SmalltalkBroker to develop and deliver distributed applications.

SmalltalkBroker-based applications:

- Interoperate with applications written in Java, C++ and other languages via CORBA 2.0-compliant ORBs.
- Interoperate with applications written in other Smalltalk dialects.
- Optimize network resources by allowing application logic to be partitioned across clients and servers, as needed.
- Use object-oriented messaging to provide peer-to-peer and client/server communication.
- Are backed by custom training, consulting and mentoring services from the distributed Smalltalk experts at DNS.

SmalltalkBroker:

- Is fully CORBA 2.0-compatible.
- Supports VisualWorks(ParcPlace-Digitalk), VisualAge(IBM), IBM Smalltalk(IBM), and VisualSmalltalk(ParcPlace-Digitalk).
- Includes a Smalltalk-based IDL compiler to support distributable objects in Smalltalk.
- Includes repositories for both object interfaces and implementations.
- Can run as a server process on the network, or as part of any Smalltalk image.
- Runs with a VisualAge, IBM Smalltalk, VisualWorks, or VisualSmalltalk development license.
- SmalltalkBroker is streamlined to be compact and easily customizable.

- The following CORBA-compliant Common Object Services (COS) specified by OMG are provided as part of the base product:
  - BrokerNames lets you use human-readable names to register and locate well known objects on any supported ORB.
  - BrokerEvents supports asynchronous communication channels to be managed between objects on any supported ORB.
  - BrokerLifecycle provides basic object life cycle services, including remote object creation, duplication, moving and deletion.
