Getting Started with BEA Tuxedo CORBA Applications

 

This document presents an overview of BEA Tuxedo® CORBA and describes the development process for developing distributed CORBA applications using the BEA Tuxedo software. This document does not discuss every feature of BEA Tuxedo CORBA; instead, it gives a general description of building a typical application using the BEA Tuxedo CORBA programming environment. To find information about all the BEA Tuxedo CORBA features, see the Home page of the BEA Tuxedo online documentation.
