Interface Definition languages: CORBA uses the concept of an interface Definition language to implement the services. IDL is a neutral programming language method of defining how a service is implemented. The syntax of this language is independent of any programming language. IDL is used to define an interface, which describes the methods that are available and the parameters that are required when a call is made for a remote object.
