ABSTRACT

SOMobjects (TM) Developer Toolkit Version 2.1 for OS/2 (R), AIX (R) and Windows+ is an object-oriented programming development product that makes it possible for programmers to use System Object Model (SOM) technology to create object-oriented class libraries that can be shared by programmers using different programming languages.

Objects/classes can be created in one programming language and accessed from a different programming language. Code can be reused to extend beyond single language boundaries, making the benefits of object-oriented programming (OOP) much more open and expansive. The SOMobjects Toolkit includes language bindings for use with C and C++ programming languages, and Direct-to-SOM (DTS) Compiler support for C++ DTS compilers from IBM and MetaWare is added with Version 2.1.

The SOMobjects Developer Toolkit is fully compliant with the Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) specification of the Object Management Group (OMG). With the SOMobjects Workgroup Enabler product, the product set also provides distributed object capability across processes or address spaces in a single workstation and across multiple workgroup nodes in a workgroup LAN configuration.

The Workgroup Enabler product enables the execution of SOM-based applications with the described distributed capabilities. The SOMobjects Developer Toolkit Version 2.1 includes the workstation enabler (previously sold separately). The purchaser of the toolkit is given the "extended right to copy" the workstation enabler code, as needed, and the right to include it in an application at no charge.

In addition to the DTS Compiler support, Version 2.1 of the SOMobjects products adds performance and usability improvements to the Distributed SOM code and TCP/IP support for Windows. Simplified pricing and packaging and support for online publications complete the Version 2.1 enhancements.

With the announcement of SOMobjects for MVS and SOMobjects for OS/400 (R), (refer to Software Announcements 294-637 and 294-611, dated October 4, 1994), MVS and AS/400 (R) become significant players in the end-to-end platform strategy for object-oriented programming.

OVERVIEW

DESCRIPTION

SOM is object-enabling technology that provides functions to overcome industry-perceived obstacles to the use of object class libraries. SOM-based objects:

  • Can be distributed and subclassed in binary form. Class library developers will no longer need to supply source code to allow users to subclass their objects.
  • Can be used, including full subclassing, across languages. It should be possible with SOMobjects technology to build an object using one language, subclass the language using another language, and use that class to build an application in yet a third language. Users of class libraries want to modify and build applications from these classes in their preferred language - not necessarily the one the class was originally written in.
  • Provide for the subsequent updating (fixes or enhancements) of these components without having to recompile existing clients that use them (upward binary compatibility). This is a key requirement because applications that depend on system libraries cannot be rebuilt each time a change is made to a component in the library.

In addition, SOM possesses a number of advanced object mechanisms, including support for metaclasses, three types of method dispatch with both static and dynamic method resolution, and support for both static and dynamic type checking.

This new release of SOMobjects Developer Toolkit for OS/2, AIX and Windows provides improved performance and usability and support for Direct-to-SOM C++ compilers from IBM and Metaware. SOMobjects for MVS uses the same basic SOM technology as the SOMobjects Developer Toolkit. By providing support for the SOM architecture on MVS, customers can take advantage on an end-to-end capability.

SOM applications are IDL-compatible with SOMobjects for MVS. The IDL code can then be shipped to MVS for compilation and execution. This provides a level of portability for SOM applications.

OPEN ENTERPRISE: CORBA from OMG - Fully Compliant

PRODUCT POSITIONING

The SOMobjects Developer Toolkit provides an open, standards-compliant, object-oriented developer environment on the OS/2, AIX, and Windows platforms. The product provides distributed, language-neutral capabilities for defining and manipulating objects and class libraries. It provides the industry with the long-needed technology for breaking the language barriers that have confined object-oriented programming development environments to language-exclusive islands. SOM-based objects can be truly open and shared, in any application language and distributed across heterogeneous networks and IBM operating system platforms.

This product is enabled for national language translation (separate files) and for the double-byte character set (DBCS). In addition to English, this version of the product will also be available in Japanese.

DOCUMENTATION: Documentation relevant to the SOMobjects products is delivered in English in displayable softcopy form on CD-ROM along with the software. PostScript files that represent the documentation are included on CD-ROM and on diskettes (when ordered as "alternate media"). This enables customers to print whatever documentation they need on their PostScript printers.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION

TECHNICAL GUIDELINES FOR USE OF WORKSTATION ENABLER: With the announcement of SOM 2.1, purchasers of the SOM 2.1 Toolkit can take the workstation enablers from the toolkit, replicate that binary code as often as needed, and include those enablers with their applications - at no charge. There are guidelines, however, that apply to:

  • CODING
    The application vendor may not externalize any IBM SOM Application Programming Interfaces (APIs). Further, all applications that include SOM 2.1 code must use the IBM-supplied "mini-install" package for the installation of that code. This package comes with the toolkit and ensures proper installation.
  • SERVICE
    Application vendors are responsible for service and support of their customers. IBM will provide support to the application vendors for problems with IBM code using standard IBM support channels and tools.
  • PUBLICATIONS
    Application vendors are not permitted to copy or distribute any IBM SOM 2.1 publication or documentation unless they are explicitly granted permission in the documentation.
    By following these simple guidelines, application vendors can now make maximum use of the IBM SOM 2.1 Toolkit and pass along added value to their customers.

COMPATIBILITY: The objects and applications developed using the SOM functions included in the SOMobjects Developer Toolkits Version 2.1 for OS/2, AIX and Windows will be upwardly compatible with the SOMobjects Developer Toolkits Version 2.0 and the SOMobjects Workstation Enablers (Runtimes) Version 2.0 for OS/2, AIX and Windows. For example, applications developed using the SOM Toolkits Version 2.0 will run on subsequent versions of the SOM Enablers.

Downward compatibility is not supported; applications developed with the SOMobjects Version 2.1 programs will not necessarily run with the earlier versions of the enabler programs.

Class libraries and applications developed with the 2.0 or 2.1 versions of SOM can coexist with those developed using the SOMobjects Version 1.0 product. Class libraries and applications developed with a prior version of SOM can be migrated to a newer version of the operating platform with a subsequent version of the SOM Enablers.
