This directory contains a number of example applications that illustrate how to transmit large files using standard CORBA and TAO. The individual directories contain READMEs on how to run the following examples: . SMI_Iterator Illustrates how to use the Iterator pattern to download large files one chunk at a time using synchronous method invocations that are "pulled" by the client from the server. . AMI_Iterator Illustrates how to use the Iterator pattern to download large files one chunk at a time using asynchronous method invocations that are "pulled" by the client from the server. . AMI_Observer Illustrates how to use the Observer pattern to download large files one chunk at a time using asynchronous method invocations that are "pushed" from the server to the client.
