Revolutionizing software development: Building flexible, reusable components for efficient systems.
Component-based software engineering (CBSE) is like building a car with pre-made parts. Software systems are made of components that can be reused and easily customized. Different models like CORBA, COM, and JavaBeans help create these components. A case study using J2EE shows how a flexible software component called SOAPStore can store and manage data. This component can be accessed as a web service using SOAP and WSDL.
