|
applications is necessary. OAF, the Object Activation Framework, provides
|
|

Distributed operation is supported, allowing activation of objects on a

|

|
network of computers being used in a GNOME desktop. The flexibility of

|

|
|
OAF enables it to be used outside of GNOME programs, allowing non-GNOME

|
|
|
|
CORBA applications to be utilized alongside GNOME applications.
