Hey, I am learning a lot thank to you guys!
Michel Ruff suggested I run the Visigenic OSAgent through Wine; that
sounds interesting, but I think I don't like having to depend on such a
hack because a vendor didn't want to provide something that is not Win*
specific. That said, Bryce McKinlay says that I don't need to run
OSAgent if I stick to standard CORBA. I might try that (my first
attempts were unsuccessful, probably because I didn't find out how to
tell the Visigenic ORB how to find the NameService). I think I would
rather not use Visibroker at all; I installed JacORB and got it to work,
and will try installing OrbaCUS (which has had very good reviews,
although is isn't covered by the GPL).
The one thing I didn't like about JacORB is its reliance on the BOA
rather than the POA. I guess OrbaCUS doesn't have that problem? On the
other hand, after I read the manual and did a couple of experiments, I
got it to connect to the omniORB2 NameService without a hitch.
By the way, I found it interesting that, running the same example client
(a trivial one, the count example from the BIG book by Orfeli et al)
using Kaffe I got much worse times than with pure JDK (JDK with the TYA
JIT compiler was about as fast as pure JDK for this example): the
average ping time was 18 msec for Kaffe, versus 3 msec for JDK. I will
keep testing with more nontrivial examples ...
