Overview of the CORBA Component Model (CCM)

• The CCM is the OMG's solution to the inadequacies of original CORBA specification. CCM is designed to allow greater software reuse for servers, and provide greater flexibility for dynamic configuration of CORBA applications.

• The CCM extends the CORBA object model by defining features and services that enable application developers to implement, manage, configure, and deploy components that integrate commonly used CORBA services, such as transaction, security, persistent state, and event notification services, in  standard environment.

• In addition, the CCM standard allows greater software reuse for servers and provides greater flexibility for dynamic configuration of CORBA applications. With the increasing acceptance of CORBA in a wide range of application domains, CCM is well positioned for use in scalable, mission-critical client/server applications.

• The CCM specification is backwards compatible with the older CORBA specifications.

• The CCM is a server-side component model for building and deploying CORBA applications.
