Evan,
I am not familiar with using Inprise's AppServer with C++ clients, but since
it's based on their CORBA implementation, I have to imagine that it
satisfies most of your requirements.
I said most...
Would your associate be able to use a freely downloadable product with a
60-day evaluation period? If so, http://www.inprise.com/appserver/download/
