In [software development](/source/Software_development), **Java Interface Definition Language**, or **Java IDL**, is an implementation of the [CORBA](/source/CORBA) specification and enables interoperability and connectivity with [heterogeneous](/source/Heterogeneous) [objects](/source/Object_(computer_science)). It is basically an [Object Request Broker](/source/Object_Request_Broker) provided with [JDK](/source/Java_Development_Kit). The Java IDL enables distributed Web applications to transparently invoke operations on remote network services using the industry standards [interface description language](/source/Interface_description_language) (IDL) and Internet InterORB Protocol [IIOP](/source/IIOP) from [Object Management Group](/source/Object_Management_Group).
