I finally got a Geronimo build created with both yoko and sun CORBA
configs. The yoko config ran fine, and I was trying to figure out what
tweaking was necessary to get the sun version to work. At a minimum, I
figured I would need to remove the yoko jar files from the repository.
Imagine my surprise when the sun j2ee-corba config started up just fine,
with no change at all to the assembly. I was able to continually switch
back and forth between between the yoko and sun ORBs without any
failures. It appears that the yoko ORB is incompatible with the sun
version of the org.omg.* classes, but the reverse is not true. The Sun
ORB appears to work well with the yoko spec classes on the classpath.
Not at all what I expected, but certainly a satisfying development!
I did an additional experiment, and tweaked the sun configuration to use
a different set of listener ports. Using different listeners, I was
even able to start both ORB configurations at the same time! I was only
able to do this manually. There appear to be some timing issues with
trying to load both at startup. Since both ORB configurators rely on
System properties to set some values, this is not entirely surprising.
I suspect there might be some strange side-effects show up if you trying
to run applications with both enabled, but the fact the yoko jar file on
the classpath didn't cause a problem makes life a lot easier.
