   The difficulty is that we typically develop on Windows and Linux

   involves using CGI/servlets to update a directory server and then a
   Java based produciton system (Jess, a CLIPS clone), to process the
   directory information.  Javasoft doesn't appear to have implemented
   an ADSI client.

   In general, IDL/CORBA would be prefereable to COM because it is
   more cross-platform (specifically it can operate as a client to
   Java servers).

Strongly, *strongly* agree --- and not just because of Java.  I know
that Microsoft has an incredible share of the market; however, using
standard formats rather than proprietary ones is always of benefit if
we are doing things cross-platform (which many of us do).
