Abstract
A system, method and user interface for searching one or more CORBA Interface Repositories for program objects based upon a set of user-specified search criteria. A user interface screen or frame is provided with two panes, the first of which allows a user to specify a variety of criteria for which to search one or more Interface Repositories using form fields, radio buttons, and/or drop-down lists. The search may be restricted to specified object servers or specified object containers. The second display pane provides a textual listing of the found objects, their location or locations, their revision dates, and the list may be selectively re-ordered and sorted. Searches may be stored for later review or transmission to other development team members. A history manager is provided to allow viewing of and selection from a list of previously executed searches.
