Actually, you do not need to be running the osagent for Visibroker to work - the
osagent simply supports Visibroker's proprietry object location/binding
mechanism. As long as you stick to the CORBA-standard (and interoperable)
IOR/nameservice-based object binding, the osagent is not required.
Incidently, you only have to have one instance of osagent running on your
network - your linux machines will find an osagent running on a windoze machine
just fine, and use it transparently.
This said, Orbacus is (IMO) a better ORB anyway, provided you only require basic
CORBA services and not the more advanced fault-tolerance and
application-server-type facilities that Visibroker can provide.
