Explain Are there important forms of asynchronous communication that are not supported directly by Corba?
Answer:
Yes, but we can fake it pretty easily.
While CORBA does support a deferred synchronous request/response, it does not directly support distributed requests with a callback driven response. A callback driven response allows an application to perform an operation on a distributed object, associate a callback with the response, continue with other processing. When the server responds, the associated callback is automatically executed within the original caller?s application.
