Return to Track I: Components
In this paper, we present a model to support dynamic gluing of components from different componentware systems, such as CORBA, COM and Java. This model adopts a dynamic composition approach combined to the interactive facilities offered by an interpreted language. Based on this model, we define a common design for the implementation of bindings between glue languages and component systems. The proposed design provides a natural way to create dynamic bridges between different component systems. We also describe the LuaOrb system, an implementation of the proposed model that binds the interpreted language Lua to Java, CORBA and COM. With LuaOrb, Lua acts as a unifying glue language, wherein we can write code that freely use and mix components from these three component systems.
