| Probably you don't need JDK1.2 for playing with CORBA.
| There are few CORBA2 compatible ORBs writen completely in java who
| alredy implements all functionality what you can even want:
| org.omg.CORBA.* package,
| idl 2 java compiler,
| interface repository server,
| couple of good knowable services end ets.
|
| Take a look on http://www.ooc.com It's an official site of ORBacus
| CORBA2 ORB. Whose really good and totaly free.
I needed CORBA support for Linux as well. At time I was not aware of
any free Java ORB availbale so I did the following... I unzipped
classes.zip from JDK1.2beta3
for win32 and picked out the stuff related to CORBA (something like
org.omg.corba.*)
and re-zipped it as OMGCORBA.zip). I used this class archive
successfully under Linux!!! I admit it is a bit of hacking, but it
proves the portability of Java (at least of
the ORB implemented by JavaSoft).
Cheers,
Addy.
