both by name and by "capability". This is true for both CORBA and Java separately and together.
My server will never even see a call to be processed for an error, if the argument types don't match up. When I get an
Integer in CORBA, it will be an Integer not a string that I have to figure out how to parse into an Integer. Things like interface repositories
exist along with implementation repositories, so I can discover everything about a service before I try to invoke it, if I need to.

The Client can have code to check the returned data for quality/correctness - however, there are theoretical limits to this, namely: If the Client knows what data it should get, why does it have to ask the Server?
I would be most interested if CORBA or Java offers something special / magical with regards to this.
