Integration Technologies and Methods Quiz

What is the purpose of middleware in application integration?

• To develop operating systems

• To manage hardware resources for applications

• To design user interfaces for applications

• To connect applications or software components

Which method of application integration involves one application writing a file that another later reads?

• File Transfer

• Messaging

• Remote Procedure Invocation

• Shared Database

What is the purpose of Remote Procedure Invocation in application integration?

• To transfer packets of data frequently, immediately, and asynchronously

• To expose some of its functionality to be accessed remotely by other applications

• To publish a message to a common message channel

• To share the same database schema

What is the store-and-forward process in messaging?

• The receiver reads the message from the channel

• The messaging system stores the message on the sender’s computer and then delivers it to the receiver’s computer

• The sender adds the message to a channel

• The messaging system moves the message from the sender’s computer to the receiver’s computer

Which type of middleware primarily supports synchronous communications between distributed objects or software components?

• Transaction-oriented middleware

• Message-oriented middleware

• Common Object Request Broker Architecture

• Object-oriented middleware

What is the purpose of DCOM in application integration?

• To define a binary standard for component interoperability

• To extend the COM to support communication between objects

• To support reliable, asynchronous communications between distributed components or applications

• To allow distributed objects to interoperate in heterogeneous environments

What does CORBA stand for in the context of application integration?

• Collaborative Object Request Broker Architecture

• Centralized Object Request Broker Architecture

• Common Object Request Broker Architecture

• Component Object Request Broker Architecture

What is the purpose of CORBA architecture in application integration?

• To support distributed computing involving database applications

• To allow applications to be built from binary software components

• To connect applications or software components

• To define a standard architecture for a distributed objects system

What is the purpose of binary interface in DCOM?

• To support reliable, asynchronous communications between distributed components or applications

• To provide a program interface between binary program modules

• To define a binary standard for component interoperability

• To allow distributed objects to interoperate in heterogeneous environments

Which type of middleware supports distributed computing involving database applications?

• Common Object Request Broker Architecture
