The client side

There are several steps to perform in order to enable an application client to use the ORB.

1. Stub creation
   For any distributed application, the client must know what object it is going to contact, and which method of this object it must call. Because the ORB is a general framework, you must give it general information about the method that you want to call.
2. ORB initialization
   In a stand-alone Java™ application, the client must create an instance of the ORB.
3. Obtaining the remote object
   Several methods exist by which the client can get a reference for the remote object.
4. Remote method invocation
   The client holds a reference to the remote object that is an instance of the stub class. The next step is to call the method on that reference. The stub implements the Sample interface and therefore contains the message() method that the client has called.
