The World Wide Web and Distributed Object-Oriented Systems (e.g. CORBA
) provide future infrastructures for distributed client/server computi
ng. This paper presents our work to provide the integration of CORBA o
bjects into the Web: first, to describe Web services using object-orie
nted technologies and second to access any Information System develope
d with CORBA from the Web. We present anew Shared Information Space mo
del with the following issues: Object Orientation Design, Distributed
and Heterogeneous Environment, Users' Point of View, Object Invocation
and Navigation. Navigation over SIS is supported by CorbaWeb, a Gener
ic Object Navigator, composed of metascripts allowing the access, the
representation and the invocation of any CORBA object from the Web. Th
ese operations are achieved by scripts written in CorbaScript, an inte
rpreted scripting language which can dynamically invoke any CORBA obje
cts.
