Geoff, Aaron:
I may have mentioned this before, I forget. I haven't used it, but JacORB is a
partial implementation of the org.omg spec that goes far beyond what Sun has
implemented and happens to be LGPLed. IMHO if we could get this guy involved it
would work well for both sides (we get CORBA, he gets distribution). Who's
wearing the diplomacy hat? URL --http://www.inf.fu-berlin.de/~brose/jacorb/
Note also that OMG hasn't finalized the Java API. There are definitely
inconsistencies in various Java ORB implementations (e.g. in Java the use of the
BOA has been deprecated -- Sun's 1.2beta doesn't include it, but JacORB and
others do). The current Java/CORBA mapping spec is at
ftp://www.omg.org/pub/docs/formal/98-02-29.pdf.
