Hi,

the >>network too!

Give me an example when this is not enough, and why I would have to
redistribute the Home object? JNDI is a naming and directory service, some
containers support dynamic class loading but this has nothing to do with
JNDI and obtaining references. What if my client is a C++ CORBA client
accessing through the naming services' CORBA interface. Why does it need to
distribute the EJB Home object across the network??

You're looking at an FAQ for the VisiBroker Naming service(CORBA), not the
Inprise Application Server.  Download IAS4 and try it. Before you claim that
it doesnt support EJB.

Um, it actually ships with the Application Server product. Configuring
Master Slaves is done by setting Java Properties.... yes out of the box, or
straight off the download ;-)

Different implementations of JNDI are layered upon different technologies to
allow interoperability between technologies. Can you explain to me how a C++
CORBA client would obtain references through a JINI based JNDI naming
service? I'm not sure if it could cater for such a heterogenous environment.


kind regards,
