Sounds like the jBoss container architecture is a perfect ORB then..

Well, the thing is that the part that I usually think of when ORB's are
mentioned is the pure IIOP stuff. And as I've said, I don't mind if
someone adds IIOP support to jBoss; after all, distribtion *is*
pluggable. However, the other things are already taken care of thanks to
the modular architecture of jBoss. jBoss *is* an ORB in the sense that
you can plug in persistence and security and whatnot.
